#7 HEX-Editor plugin - "Compare HEX" function

[Anonymous]

The "Compare HEX" menu item is always disabled, I could not find any way to make it available. After opening two files in Hex View mode, it's still disabled.

Running Notepad++ 5.3 Unicode with HEX-Editor plugin v0.9.3 Unicode.

I had the same problem (Notepad++ v5.8.6 Unicode with HEX-Editor 0.9.5 Unicode), but I managed to get it working by:
1. Open the two files to compare.
2. Select Plugins/Compare/Compare (I think this is using the default Compare plugin)
3. On each of the side-by-side windows, enter hex mode (Plugins/HEX-Editor/View In Hex)
4. Select all in each window (or just the data to compare)
5. Now the menu item should be enabled: Plugins/HEX-Editor/Compare HEX

(I do agree, it is a long process)

1. Open the two files for compere
2. Right click on second file tab an select: Move to Other View
3. Switch both file to HEX View
4. Now the menu item should be enabled: Plugins/HEX-Editor/Compare HEX

Its broken again in NPP 7.7.1 with HEX-Editor plugin 0.9.5.
I have two ini files open in Hex mode and have tried having one in a different view and having both in a different view and that option stays Grayed out.
