      Thank you very very much Jean-sébastien for picking up the compare plugin.  I have n++ open all the time with various files even though it is not my code editor and the compare function is extremely valuable.  I will be happy again.

      The screen shot of the future looks great, improved and I can see new features.

      I just installed the latest NP++ ansi and I went to pick up the latest compare plugin

      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189927&package_id=244011

      but it's unicode.  I assume I need to use NP++ unicode with it or I otherwise can't use it?

        Hi,

        In fact, for the moment there isn't any Compare ANSI version.

        I have to look on how to create one. Else, if it possible, I suggest than you install N++ UNICODE to use Compare.

        Best regards,
        Jean-sébastien

      Hi Jean,
      I'm afraid there's a problem with Compare plugin and Change markers. When I compare 2 files and clear the results, the change markers report the lines have been modified. I've reported the problem in the Change markers thread, here: https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2984130&forum_id=482781 (messages from June 11).

      I hope you don't mind if I post this request here... But I find https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=189927&atid=931292 too confusing, as it is a different project and all plugins are mixed together.

      Well, my request is pretty simple, and probably it's already on your TODO list: a command to jump to the next/previous difference. I think this was already asked, when the maintainer was TY; in case, count this as a +1 vote! :-)

      Anyway, thanks for your great work!

        Hi,

        In fact that's already in my TODO list, and I think that this feature will be released in 1.5.4 ASAP.

        Best regards,
        Jean-sébastien

      I like the bar on the right, and the new indicators on the left showing added, removed and modified lines are also much better than the current ones! Great work! :-)

      The compared file needs to have the same Syntax Highlighting as the opened file, rather than no syntax highlighting.

        Hi,

        Can you give me details about what give you this issue ?

        Are you using a N++ theme (other than the default one) ?

        Best regards,
        Jean-sébastien

          I am using npp 5.4.3, newly installed, and Compare 1.5.3.

          I open a SQL file, make some changes and then select Compare to last save.

          Compare opens a new window with the same SQL file showing the change that I made but the new window does not have any Syntax Highlighting.

          HTH

            Hi,

            Would it be possible to give me an exmaple SQL file ?

            I never used SQL, and the only SQL example file I have found seem to not be correctly colored.

            Regards

              Just paste the following into a file and save it as a SQL file and then make a change to any line and then do a Compare to last save.

              select * from sysobjects
              go

              print '-------'

              select * from syscolumns
              go

      Thanks much Jean,  I guess it's time for me to start using unicoded.  I don't know what the tradeoffs are for me.  I'd stayed with ansi because I hadn't had any problems or limitations with it (other than a couple plugins now have the upgrades in unicode only which I guess is reason to go for it - it's progress I assume
