Compare two files from Remote Edit History view

When working with files in IDz it is often cumbersome to find and selecting different members in the Remote Systems view if the members are in different libraries.

Users would like to have the option of comparing two files/members from the Remote Edit History view, by selecting them and choosing Compare with > Each other. Much like in the Remote Systems view.
