Horizontal vs vertical side-by-side layout - switch on-the-fly
I see that this option is available in settings. If I just change it there, it doesn't take effect immediately- unless I've misunderstood somehow- it seems you have to do a new comparison, including all the pain of deselecting the files and waiting ages for the uploads to complete.
Could it be fixed to take effect immediately when you hit ok etc in settings?
It would be far more useful if there were an additional UI button in the main diff window to toggle this setting on the fly? - I have extremely long lines of text. I know there is the line inspector, but toggling modes would allow me to see more lines or much more of the extremely long lines, and I do need to switch as I go down through a file sometimes.
1. Probably not: DiffNow cannot dynamically change splitter orientation since this is done on the server, before the iframe is generated.
2. Even if we added such button (which we are reluctant to, since adding such buttons would clutter the toolbar), you’s have to recompare. And this would necessarily require to upload files again, since browsers don’t allow to cache client-side files in INPUT (type=“file”) controls due to privacy concerns.
