Feature Request: show all lines when comparing folders

It shows only the differences, like Only in foodir: foo. Of course, --whole-file doesn't work in this case, although I tended to think that it could/should.

You need something like a previous curses interface to select which file diff you want to show. That would use icdiff then

Or do you have an idea or how cli interface should work?

@albfan

If dir1 has file0 file1 file2 and dir2 has file1 file2 file3 I now see

$ icdiff dir1 dir2
Only in dir1: file0
Only in dir2: file3

I rather see

dir1/                        dir2/
file0
file1                        file1
file2                        file2
                             file3
