I wasn’t aware this plugin even existed for Notepad++! This is awesome, I have been using another application altogether to compare side by side files for errors / changes while I code. The cool thing is that it also works with all of the languages that Notepad++ supports and works with also. My partner Greg and I both use Notepad++ for simple inline code editing, it’s fast and very clean. My dream for the Notepad++ project is for them to throw a WYSWYG visual editor onto it (I would completely uninstall and burn my Frontpage / Expression DVD’s).
You can download this compare plugin on SOURCEFORGE. (click here)
Hi! Have you a list with the shortcuts used by this plugin ? (go to the first difference etc) E.D (Belgium)
I don’t have that list handy but I will see what I can do and will post it back here if I find anything.
where should I leave the dll file?
Just drag the DLL into the Notepad++/plugins directory
To use, simply open the two files you wish to compare, click Plugins > Compare > Compare.
Yea, I use this plug-in too and I agree that it's completely awesome. Like delcroix mentioned in the first comment, a list of shortcuts would be cool. Also, I see these little red square boxes next to some of the lines when I compare. Any idea what that means?
No idea, wish I could help tho. I don't use Notepad++ near as much as I once did. Sorry. Thanks for reading tho.
Very Interesting information. Thanks for your review.
Thanks

Looks like the ACTUAL link is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/ComparePlugin/
(look for the ‘Compare Plugin’ files; latest is apparently June-2010, and there’s another version labeled ‘unicode’…)
