Feature to keep hidden items and compare results after project is closed and reopen

Open mauriciogracia opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

This is a feature request but also if anybody finds this useful I could implement it.

  1. Hiding items, closing a project and reopening should keep the items hidden (keep context)
  2. Reopening a project that was compared before should NOT need to recompare (see note below)

To implement the 2nd one, some kind of CRC could be kept for each folder/file to know when the project needs to be compared again.
