I use a 3-way comparison, the folder A does not have new symbolic links that folder B has, and the folder C is empty, and I want to copy many symbolic links to the folder C, before moving to the A, but I will receive many "error file copying" dialogs, therefore, I would like to disable this dialog.
Observe that I do not want to ignore symbolic links.

Files are being **deleted improperly** after this error! The files that are deleted are the files that I am comparing at the moment that error occurs.
Both folders being compared are in a samba share mounted in my directory structure.
The problem occurs when we try to save the changes.

The below command goes through and meld is installed with the meld icon showing up on the Applications, but when I provide the two files to compare, after providing the files I do not see meld open up with the difference output. It basically shuts down after the step without any errors, as I have attached the pic of the last step. ![DeepinScreenshot_select-area_20190510150605](/uploads/5547215d4dfac9a56a8f6113e54a4971/DeepinScreenshot_select-area_20190510150605.png)

Meld shows file diffs side by side. But I work with portrait-oriented monitors, a large font size, and often deal with generated files with long lines. I'd like to see changed lines over/under each other, rather than side by side on the screen. Here's an example of what I mean:
![diff](/uploads/4e9c1b3be8ef98bb111a8bce83594eba/diff.png)
It would be nice if Meld could provide a similar layout, but consistent with its current style (ie. red/green highlighting instead of `+`, `-`) and with the full context.
