Kompare is comparison program for KDE

Kompare is a free software graphical computer application which helps the user to compare two different text files or two directories.

Kompare does not actually compute the differences between the compared files itself, but is merely a graphical front end to the command line interface diff utility. However, the colour coding of changed lines makes them very easy to spot.

Features include:

comparison of files or directories via a graphical interface

bezier-based connection widget lets you see both source and destination as they really appear

graphical viewing of patch files in normal, context, unified and diff formats

interactive application of differences

full network transparency

ability to view plain-text diff output in the embedded viewer

easy navigation of multiple-file diffs with the dockable navigation tree

graphical interface to commonly used diff command line options

switch source and destination with one command

Kompare was previously known as kdiff.
