Change Report (Pro Only)
The Change Report is an optimized 'multi-file' compare.
It gives a detailed overview of changes within a set of files.
A Change Report is for instance invoked by Query|Show Changes from
the Project Window when having a directory
with multiple changed files selected.
There are various other ways/windows to invoke a Change Report in SmartSVN.
The core component of the Change Report is a read-only File Compare
view; for details regarding the usage, refer to Comparison.
The upper part of the Change Report frame consists of a directory tree and a file
table, which displays the files being part of the Change Report.
In the upper, right part, another table shows the individual changes for the selected
files.
These changes can directly be selected and viewed in the File Compare part by navigating
in this table.
Depending on the type of Change Report, not all of the following actions are available
from the various menus.
