Re: Swap file already exists

I just want to comment that I find the 'swap file already exists' thingy
to be very un-userfriendly. I think it would be immensely more useful if
it first showed a text-only diff of the file and swap file,
and then only gave the choices.

There are two issues here:

1. When the choices are given, how in the world am I supposed to know
if the file is newer, or if the swap is newer, or if they're exactly
the same?

2. Once I choose to open the file, why is there no built-in way to
compare them, and to delete the swap file?

Both of these would be solved by showing a diff, or an option to show
the diff, when the choices are displayed.
