Ok, the diff looks fine, but now the "list of files" pane on the right is empty.

Even when you limit the diff output, you often have lots of files. At least I do, because I often limit by subdirectory. So I'd still like to see the file list on the right, so that I can jump to a particular part of the diff.

(It would also be nice if it showed the *size* of the changes a'la diffstat or something, but that's another and independent issue).
