4 years, 9 months ago The OP asked how to do this using Notepad++, many answers diverge. Save the script under some name and see /a/34611800/4086774 for assigning a shortcut to it. with this content: npp_console keep npp_save "$(LEFT_VIEW_FILE)" npp_save "$(Right_VIEW_FILE)" npp_run "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" "$(LEFT_VIEW_FILE)" "$(Right_VIEW_FILE)" ( four lines) That will run WinMerge with left and right views file (or the current file if only one view is active). Then create a script via Plugins -> NppExec-> Execute. WinMerge, then install the NppExec Plugin for Notepad++. 4 years, 11 months ago You would install e.g. Would you mind sharing your script? We could meet up in a Chat. But I don't really know how I would go about the NppExec script to start winmerge. I managed to download all the plugins and WinMerge. The best of both worlds :) 4 years, 11 months ago That sounds awesome. If there is a split view, winmerge loads the file from the left view and compares it to the one on the right, with one click in Notepad++. I installed both programs and created a NppExec script to start winmerge. 5 years, 9 months ago WinMerge is the way to go (even while being fan of Notepad++) 5 years, 9 months ago Yes that is true. But this method (answer) is still valid for adding plugins manually for almost any Notepad++ plugins.ĭisclaimer: the link of this guideline refer to my personal web site.Ĥ months, 1 week ago Related Topics file compare notepad++ Comments 6 years, 4 months ago I believe that this is actually the same plugin that mentioned 6 years ago This is beneficial when you cannot download the plugin because of the access control matter. Thanks to with this update: Notepad++ Now has " Plugin Admin" as a replacement for the old Plugin Manager. dll fileģ2bit: %programfiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins It is also possible to drag and drop the plugin.

Notepad++ 7.5 and newer versions does not have plugin manager.

I use Compare plugin 2 for notepad++ 7.5 and newer versions. for Notepad++ 7.7 and above use Compare v2.0.0 for Notepad++ 7.7, if you need to install manually follow the description below, otherwise use " Plugin Admin".for Notepad++ 7.5 and above use Compare v2.0.0.
