It is a very handy feature added lately, to be able to invoke the difftool from within the VS Code.

Would it be possible to enhance this functionality to provide a means to invoke difftool with --dir-diff parameter? That way I see the actual tree diff with file structure and stuff rather than multiple tabs open (for each edited file) and in unclear order (current behavior).

This is currently supported if you use the Directory Compare command -- that launches difftool with --dir-diff. Let me know if you had something else in mind.

@eamodio What I'd like to do is the following: I modified some files locally and would like to review the changes. For that, I'd prefer to invoke difftool with --dir-diff (at least that's what I do in the console).

Ideally, I'd like to do that via simple shortcut inside VS Code. The Directory Compare is not suitable since it asks for some extra info, like against which branch to compare, which i don't want. All I want is to see the local uncommitted changes, kinda like the Gitlens: Open Changes (with difftool), but that difftool should be with --dir-diff parameter.

P.S. Many thanks for the great plug-in and quick responses!
