A new version of the Compare plugin has been released.
This version include navigation feature (go to first difference, last, next or previous) and a graphical view of difference like what can be seen in most comparison software.
Starting from 1.5.4, I will also released two versions of Compare, an ANSI and an UNICODE.
Feel free to test it and report bugs/ask for feature/...
Best regards

I would love to have a feature like this. I need this almost daily:
1. Hit somekey1: Compare places in the Clipboard UNIQUE lines from file 1
2. Hit somekey2: Compare places in the Clipboard UNIQUE lines from file 2
3. Hit somekey3: Compare places in the Clipboard COMMON lines in both files
(Optionally, create a new tab each time and leave Clipboard alone... whatever)
Thanks for considering it.

Thanks for the wonderfull plugin. i use it for my everyday work
but with recent n++ & compare plugin update i found few bugs. I even tried deleting the compare config ini inside C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\Config\Compare.ini
1. Navigation bar selection is always on even if u deselect in plugins-->compare-->navigation bar. Closing & re-opening n++ keeps navigation bar option selected.
2. alt+d or ctrl page up/down shortcut keys doesnt work
here is my config
1. n++ 5.4.4 (unicode)
2. compare plugin - 1.5.4 (unicode)
3. windows xp sp3
other plugins (all unicode)
- function list 2.0 beta
- hex editor 0.9.3
- change markers 1.2.1
- universal indent gui
- window manager 1.2.2
hope this will help make an update at the earliest.

Thank you! Thank you very much! :) It's so much more useful now.
I guess you know that it would be nice if you could press on the navigation bar and it would jump to the line but maybe this isn't possible.
One addition left would be the possibility of a small window that shows
Match Line 0 to Line 300
Insert Line 301 to 303
Delete Line 304 to 400
...
Like it's in Hex Workshop for example :)

That's true, for the moment you can navigate using the side bar. I will try to add this feature in the next releases of Compare.
I've released a new Compare with the side bar knowing that some feature are missing but I would like to have feedback and feature request and let user try that new feature.
I've also released the 1.5.4 version so that user with ANSI can use Compare.
I will have a look at Hex Workshop to see if I can do something equivalent.

Absolutely. This was an incredible update to compare. The side bar improves view of changes much. Selection on click would only be more comfortable.
With a diff list this would be again better :).

one nice feature i'm missing:
If you look at WinMerge, whenever a change is detected - one line (lets say line 45) that exists in file a and not in file b, will be an empty virtual line in file b.
this plugin - just marks the text in file b and does not detect it as a new addition in file b.

I meant from menu bar ->plugins-->compare-->navigation bar option is always selected even if u deselect it. Once u deselect & restart the n++, it gets selected by itself.
Anyway, thanks for the wonderful update. Hope to see more from u.

It had (long ago I think) be found to interfere with non latin character typing. I think extensive testing on a variety of OS / locale pairs is required in order to include it back.
Well, I am not sure what the policy for inclusion is. There might be none.
Don?

Hi,
1. In fact, menu item for the side bar doesn't do anything. I will see how I can let user choose to use the side bar or not.
2. It seem that all plugins shortcut are not working anymore. I will check this with N++ dev team.
Best regards

Hi,
Thank you all for your encouragement.
The side bar is far from being perfect. I'm working on it btw.
About the list change, I had a look at Hex Workshop, so I will see how to implement something similar.
Best regards,

Thanks for such a great plugin.

this plugin - just marks the text in file b and does not detect it as a new addition in file b.
Hi,
Try to enable "align matches" in Plugins->Compare-> Align matches.
This should add an empty line in file b.

Do you guys think that now that there is a Unicode version of this plugin, it could be added to the default list of official plugins again?
