Package: fldiff
Version: 1.1-1.1
Severity: normal
When one of the file to be compared is not regular readable,
fldiff shows the same content in the left and the right window.
I want to give an example to explain what happened here:
I was working on a translation, I had a po file, which is at the end
a plain text file in utf8.
I wanted to compare the original version I got from the package maintainer
with my working copy.
So I compared the files with fldiff, but because of some reason the
original file had the wrong file name, it was named xxx.po, but it was
gzipped, so it was not plain text and should have been xxx.po.gz.
So I compared a gezipped file with a plain text file.
This is of course absolutelly senseless, but fldiff showed me in both
windows, the left and the right, the same content, which means, there is
no difference between the files.
There was no error message.
Greetings
Holger
