Now it gives a more helpful error message explaining the situation instead of claiming you haven't selected two scans yet. I decided to allow it to open the browser if even one of the scans has text output, although it's not very helpful if only one does because you get an all-insertions or all-deletions diff.
It sure would be great if Zenmap made a smarter diff. After all, I can easily take two Nmap normal-format output files and run diff on them. But Zenmap has the big advantage of actually parsing and understanding the Nmap XML output. So it could, theoretically, give a much more useful picture of what has changed in terms of new/removed host or new/removed listening services (and ideally it could handle misc. changes like OS detection, MAC address, NSE results, etc.) I don't know if it is possible this summer, but it would certainly be cool.
