2. Manual installation
After the download is completed, it is a ComparePlugin.v1.5.6.3.bin.zip compressed file, unzip it This file has a readme.txt file in its doc directory, the content is as follows:
To install manually, copy ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin subfolder into the plugins directory C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins.
means: manual installation, ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin files in ComparePlugin.v1.5.6.3.bin.zip Copy the folder to the Plugins subdirectory of the NotePlusPlus installation path.
(The default installation path of NPP is: C:\Program Files\Notepad\Plugins. If you customize the installation path of NPP, you need to copy it to the corresponding path. I have customized the path here, so it is D:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad \plugins)
After copying, restart Notepad and you can see the Compare plug-in in the plug-in bar.
3. Happy use
Select the "new2" file, click the plug-in bar> Compare > Compare, it will be displayed Comparison results with "new3".
Note: Generally, the selected file is compared with the file on the right. If there is no file on the right, the file on the left is compared. Can't understand? For example: in the picture above, we selected "new2", and the file on the right is "new3". The comparison shows the comparison results of "new2" and "new3"; if we select "new3", then Go to the plug-in bar > Compare > Compare. Because there is no file on the right side of new3, it will compare the file on the left, that is, "new2".
so, if you want to compare, you have to put the two files next to each other. As for the left and right, it depends on which one you want to compare with.
Then you suddenly find out, how to cancel the comparison results after comparison?
To cancel comparison, click here: Plug-in Bar > Compare > Clear Results
