Install Compare plug-in?

TS ST · Nov 28, 2017, 9:13 PM

My version of notepad++ is 7.5.1. And in the Plugins tab drop down, I can’t see the Plugin Manager!
I was having the 32bit version and did not see it.
So I uninstall it and install the 64-bit version and still don’t see it.
For now, I just want the Compare plugin.
Could someone show me how to install this plugin in this situation?

Thank you.

Hello @TS-ST ,

Go to here https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases/tag/v2.0.0 and download Compare plugin for your platform (for example for 32-bit get https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases/download/v2.0.0/ComparePlugin_v2.0.0_x86.zip ).

Then manually extract the zip contents and copy them to your Notepad++ install folder -> plugins sub-folder.
