The menu text is confusing. As Stefan said, comparing non-modified WC files does not makes sense, but in this case the text is misleading. The operation is actually something like like "Compare your latest checkout with current checkout" (or similar). This puzzled me also for a while.
And making this work on a doubleclick instead of opening the context menu makes perfect sense.(is is the already existing operation, just invoked differently) Lp, David On Monday, 22 March 2021 at 01:31:11 UTC+1 Tony Rietwyk wrote: > After doing an update, I look through the files in the Update dialog list > to verify the changes that other team members have done.
