swap panes not working for 3 file comparison....

[4evermaat]

The swap panes feature only works properly with 2-file comparisons. 3 file comparisons, the middle file always remains the same when trying to swap. I cannot swap middle file.

The problem is that I cannot customize the middle file when initiating the comparison from windows explorer (selecting 3 files in windows explorer, and then using context menu to launch in WinMerge).

Would be nice to drag/drop OR to pop up (drop-down) a menu that would allow user to customize which file goes into which pane, without having to start over with new manual comparison.

Please fix this.

I can work on this and submit a PR, unless someone is already working on this. My proposal is:

1. Modify the View -> Swap Panes to View -> Swap Panes -> <3 new menus Swap 1-2, Swap 2-3 and Swap1-3>
2. The Swap Pane functionality (currently only swaps first and last) will account for the file index and swap the panes between fromIndex and ToIndex as long as ToIndex >2
   Will wait for confirmation before proceeding (sorry am new here)

Thank you. I see I missed some changes (the translation files, and also some code - sorry). Appreciate it if you can provide some guidelines to follow in each commit, and I can try to get a better commit next time. Thx.

There was nothing wrong with it.
I had to update the .po file because some strings that needed to be translated were added, but the .po files are updated automatically at build time, so it's not a hassle.
