[poedit-users] Feature request: Side by Side diff

Hi Vaclav,

since I use poEdit daily to translate all the documentation and UI of 
TortoiseSVN and parts of Subversion into German, I'm missing this 
feature a lot. Especially when only a typo was fixed in the original, 
it's often hard to spot this small change in poEdit.

Most of the time I pop up a diff tool next to poEdit, but since the 
formatting of the raw .po file is different from the display in poEdit, 
this helps only a little.

I imagine the following. Each time I update my po File from sources or 
from a .pot file, a backup is created and the bottom windows are used to 
display the (color highlighted) diff, original msgid and msgstr on the 
left and current msgid and msgstr on the right.

If found two tools:
- http://users.tkk.fi/~ptvirtan/programs/utils.html.en
- http://www.uddeborg.se/sv/podiff

that do roughly what I'd like to see. Especially the first tool displays 
a nice line by line diff. Could this serve as an inspiration?
Now the "only" thing to be added would be an in-line diff that allows 
spotting things like "copy bolck" -> "copy block".

Cheers
- Lübbe
