will it be possible to extend the environment variable to select the full path name of the first two open tabs?
I want to run winmerge by something like this: winmwerge $(Full_Current_Path:Tab1) $(.....:Tab2) when two files are currently open. This will make life easier as long as there is no diff plugin or built-in.
Thanks Uwe

You can use NppExec for this task.
You can find this plugin here: sourceforge.net >> projects >> Notepad++ Plugins.
How to install: place NppExec.dll to your notepad++'s plugins folder, restart notepad++.
Call NppExec's dialog (pressing F6 by default) and type this command:
then save it as, for example, "WinMerge" (your script name).
I suppose your winmerge.exe is located in "C:\Program Files\WinMerge".
You can specify this command without npp_run. In such case (without npp_run) NppExec will wait until winmerge.exe returns.
