Add option to always show comparisons in dialog

[yellowbkpk]

Hi subclipse users,

A while ago, I was able to view commit-time diffs in a separate dialog box. This functionality seems to have been removed and is now shown in the commit dialog box alongside the commit comment information. Is there a way to revert back to the old functionality? Showing the diffs alongside the commit information takes up way too much space. I'd rather have it in a separate dialog when I want to see it and not have it there by default.

Thanks!
Ian

Showing/hidng the diff is a toggle.  If you do not want to see it,
hide it.  The new approach allows you to edit you commit message while
viewing the diff.

Since it doesn't look like the mailing list mails responses back to me, I'm responding to my own message. I see markphip responded to me at [0].

I don't want to view the diff next to the commit-comment. I want to view the diff in its own dialog. I see the toggle, but when I double-click on a file to view the diff it just opens up the view on the side again.

When I use the "Commit" dialog box, usually my focus is solely on the commit comment. If I'm interested in what changes will be submitted, I double-click the file and then my focus is that individual file, not the file + the commit comment. When this happens, the commit comment textbox is just an annoying box off on the left of the diff viewer.

Agree on this. The old behavior sometimes is much more useful than
current. It would be really nice to have the option to choose whenever
to show diffs in a same window or in a separate.
