Bazaar GUI Branch Diff

Dear all,
Is there an easy way to perform a qdiff on two related branches in
Bazaar Explorer?
In a repository F:/VCS/MyProject/ we have two branches "trunk" and
"feature-abc". "feature-abc" was created by using qswitch (with the
"create branch when switching" option set) from a heavyweight checkout
of the trunk. This was carried out by another developer on the team
and I needed to review the changes prior to merging back into the
trunk.
I tried opening F:/VCS/MyProject/feature-abc and it opened up a view
of the repository with a split window at the bottom saying 'Not a
branch: "C:/workspace/myproject/"'. This is presumably due to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/513709 but knowing that doesn't
help me much! The only way I've found to do this is to open a command
prompt and enter:
bzr qdiff --new=F:/VCS/MyProject/feature-abc F:/VCS/MyProject/trunk
It would be really nice if there was a GUI way to do this, something
like start qdiff and then have a dialog box asking for the locations
of the two branches to diff.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I should be doing this?
Many thanks in advance,
Al
