Request: Allow rule-specific detail level

[bryceman]

I'd love to be able to set up different detail levels for different types of files.

Could you give us some examples of how you'd use this functionality?

[jeffhostetler]

Yeah, that would be nice. I debated doing that at the time
but just made it global. (I was probably just being lazy...)
In hind sight, I should have made it a per-ruleset setting.

I've logged this.

thanks for the suggestion.

For example, I find that when viewing source changes, I've gotten very spoiled by the combination of "lines and characters" + complete MLILADL. But when I'm reviewing a commit list that 1+MB includes hex files, they don't like that. It actually crashed DiffMerge, trying to merge & split that much text was a bit too much, I guess. So I would probably just make the default ruleset do lines only with MLILADL disabled.

Thanks for your suggestions.
