Paste and Drop Input

+ Sometimes you want to compare parts of a text that is not an own file. KDiff3 also + allows you to paste text from the clipboard into the diff input window that has the focus. + The diff analysis happens immediately then. + In the open dialog you need not specify files then, but just close it via "Cancel". +

+ You can also use drag and drop: Drag a file from a file manager + or selected text from an editor and drop it onto a diff input window. +

+ What's the idea? Sometimes a file contains two similar functions, but checking how similar + they really are is a big effort if you first must create two files and then load them. Now + you can simply copy, paste and compare the relevant sections. +

+ Note: Currently you cannot drag anything from KDiff3. Only dropping in the diff input + is supported. +

+ Warning: Some editors still interpret the drag and drop into another program like cut + (instead of copy) and paste. Your original data might be lost then. +
