Quicker comparison with key combo and/or dropspot

Hasher is very useful!

To streamline comparison of files a bit, add one or all of these:

- setting to enter "compare to next file" mode on startup. The user must untick the box to not compare.

- if holding CTRL when dropping a file on the GUI, then automatically do a comparison with the last file

- if dropping a file on a special part of the GUI (for example on the "compare to next file" text), then automatically do a comparison with the last file

Hi fryko

Some very interesting ideas you have there! I already added a "compare every two files" option in the settings, maybe that will do exactly what you want. Try it, and tell me what you think, ok?

Hi, sorry for not replying earlier...

That's perfect! Exactly the feature I was asking for.

One more related suggestion:

- instead of a pop-up, show the comparison result in a field in the main window instead. When comparing several pairs of files, that would speed up things a bit. I guess it's hard to fit in all the info from the current popup in the current main window. Maybe a "minimal" mode could be set as an option. When in minimal mode, the comparison results in no popup. Instead, only the text "different" in red or "same" in green is shown somewhere in the main window.

I will add that option as soon as the time will allow me to!
