Highlight the string that "changed" during a Compare between two files

[Chad Richardson]

Hello,

I used to be able to see the difference(s) on a line of a compare between two files, Notepad++ would highlight the character differences. Has this been disabled, and if so, can it be added back in or a setting changed? This was VERY useful…and is one of the main reasons that we use Notepad++ at our office.

Thanks,
Chad

Hello Chad,

Please see this thread.
You can try Compare Plugin v1.5.6.6 (by UFO), v1.5.6.7 (UFO) or v1.5.6.8 (WIP by Pavel Nedev; download the latest 7z file).
Pavel’s repository is here.

Best regards.

I was able to download and use the Compare Plugin v1.5.6.6 (by UFO)…the functionality that I need is back now. Thank you Yaron.
