No Option to Compare

I am running Obsidian v1.1.16 on Windows and have installed this plugin. Thanks for writing it.

However, when I open my command palette and search for file diff the only option I see is File Diff: Find sync conflicts and merge. I do not see an option for just File Diff: Compare.

Any ideas?

You need to have a file open in order to access the other two options. Basically, when you have a file open, it will serve as the base file and you'll be asked to select a comparison file.

Another user also struggled with this issue. So it's worth considering making this more user friendly. I could make the other two options always available and if no file is open the user is prompted twice, for the base file and for the comparison file.

For now I think it's alright, but I'm always happy to hear suggestions for improvement. If the issue receives 10 likes, I'd be more than willing to make the change.
