Is there a way to use this to compare 2 binary files and view in Hex? I have the hex editor plugin, but once I go to that mode, compare complains "nothing to compare". In normal (non-hex) mode Compare says that the files match, I assume because it's ignoring non-text characters.
Help?

Thank you for your reply. I didn't realize it had that feature.
Tried it, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. Highlights at random, stuff that matches and doesn't match.

I figured out how to use 'Hex Editor' 'Compare Files'.
Open two files
2nd file right click tab and choose 'Move to other view'
click first file
ctrlA - select All
click 2nd file
ctrlA - select All

Hi,
For comparing hex file, you can use (as you already did) the Hex plugin and use its built-in comparison feature.
