The baseline compare is great - even with the current weirdities:
1) changing the root view name (or probably any parent package name) means all children are marked as changed
2) if an element note is very long, the scroll bars execute a strange tango
3) sometimes element notes seem to have been excluded from the baseline (e.g. very nested packages)
but...
It would be nice if
a) the compare "diagram" header displayed the comparison pairs instead of "No current diagram" (my aging and fading memory gets me confused after a while as to which one is which
b) there was a way to resize the detail view columns together so thay stay in synch for multiline notes, and
c) there was some indicator in a shallow view that child elements have changes... I know this sort of kills off the idea of shallow.. what I mean is after[ have drilled down and found differences the parent chain could be highlighted somehow (say italics???) so I can go back and find them 2 minutes later when I've forgotten which one I was looking at before I toddled off to anther branch to check something.
Apart from that the compare has saved us many, many hours of checking out a current problem we have with a divergent pair of models.
