Status pane needs more appropriate actions for each file

I'm a little confused: what's wrong with the icons that are on the status view (in the red circles in the attached image)? Is there another function that you need apart from diff, add etc?

Sorry, maybe I don't understand something, but every modified file has a
small icon just before file name to invoke the diff for just this one
file. Is it not shown for you or you're asking for something else?

Well, hm hm hm, I think so.

There is one problem though. We may suddenly bump into performance problems if we add to much staff to panes. Maybe right-click menu would be better there.

It's not showing up right now. It used to...

I think it may have disappeared around the time the "octopus" shredder was
replaced by the recycle bin, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yes. Demand-loading on right-clicks is much better if it helps to keep the
interface responsive.

Perhaps as a side thing we should experiment with replacing the current
HTML-based status pane with a simpler list/table-based widget with
right-click menu options for the actions that are represented by icons
currently.

Ok, that was weird. The little "diff" icons were missing, then they came
back after a reboot. I'm not blaming Windows. I'm pretty sure I did
something to cause the problem in the first place, I just don't remember
what. Nothing to see here...

Although part of my original motivation for this report is invalid, the general idea of per-file actions in the Status pane (which *is* implemented for diff) should be extended to the other sections of the pane as described in the original report, above.

Do they come back after refresh button (F5) pressed?

Good guess, but I definitely remember checking that when I was having the
problem. I have not been able to reproduce the problem, so I'm pretty sure
I did something wrong. If it happens again I will take better notes.
