Step 2: ⌨️ Coding

• meld/dirdiff.py ✅ Commit 3447ab7

Modify meld/dirdiff.py with contents:
• Add a new method `select_left_file_to_compare` in the `DirDiff` class. This method should store the selected file or directory path in a class variable.
• Add a new method `select_right_file_to_compare` in the `DirDiff` class. This method should store the selected file or directory path in a class variable.
• Modify the `on_button_press_event` method in the `DirDiff` class to add two new options in the context menu: "Select left file/dir to compare" and "Compare to 'filename'". The first option should call the `select_left_file_to_compare` method and the second option should call the `select_right_file_to_compare` method.
• Modify the `compare_selected_files` method in the `DirDiff` class to compare the files or directories stored in the class variables when the "Compare to 'filename'" option is selected.

Here is the 1st review

Thanks for your contribution. There are a few changes that need to be made:

1. In meld/dirdiff.py, the select_left_file_to_compare and select_right_file_to_compare methods are connected to the "activate" signal of the menu items, but these methods expect a pane argument which is not provided by the "activate" signal. This will cause a TypeError when the menu items are activated. You need to modify these methods to not require the pane argument.

2. The compare_selected_files method is trying to get an iterator from the file paths stored in self.left_file_to_compare and self.right_file_to_compare using the get_iter method of the model. However, the get_iter method expects a TreePath or a string that represents a TreePath, not a file path. This will cause a ValueError. You need to find a way to convert the file paths to TreePaths.

3. The "Compare to 'filename'" menu item is always added to the context menu, even when no file or directory has been selected for comparison. This could confuse the user as clicking this menu item without selecting a file or directory for comparison will do nothing. You should add a condition to only add this menu item when a file or directory has been selected for comparison.

4. The left_file_to_compare and right_file_to_compare variables are not initialized in the DirDiff class. If the action_diff method is called before these variables are set, it will cause an AttributeError. You should initialize these variables in the __init__ method of the DirDiff class.
