Re: [Kdiff3-user] Context-Menus for FileManagers for KDiff3

[Marc-Antoine R. <ma...@un...>]

Hi

I tried diff-ext, and I saw the problem about language selection. I 
think the extension is not built with Unicode. I would have to build it 
for x64 too...

Beside this, it seems to work well. But since I am using Beyond Compare 
for 2-way diffing, I already have the same kind of functionality.

I added the needed registry key to support folder diffing and it seems 
to work well. Just rip the following text and save it as a .reg file and 
import it. It will add folder diffing.


--------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\diff_ext]
@="{A0482097-C69D-4DEC-8AB6-D3A259ACC151}"
