But there aren't such ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin subfolder in v2.0.0 Source code (zip)
And how to install manually ComparePlugin v2.0.0 ?
Please help!
Hello @ballios,
https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/releases
You should not download source code but ComparePlugin_v2.0.0_ (either x64 or x86).
Best regards.
Just upgraded notepad++, compare plug-in did not work after that, although it used to work (installed from plug-in manager).
Tried to install from the plug-in manager but never succeeded.
Then I followed the above step and it works again. Just need to make sure the correct binaries got copied over (for me it is the x86 version).
Thanks a lot!
Hello !
Do you use the file in the ".\ plugin-2.0.0\projects\2013" or".\ plugin-2.0.0\projects\2015"? If not,please build it with your Visual Studio.Then there will be a folder called "Notepad++",copy the ComparePlugin and the ComparePlugin.dll to the place , for me it's the "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\ComparePlugin".You need to create the folder ComparePlugin in the" C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins" before you copy them.Restart it！
One more,if your version is x64,you may need to change the platform in the Configuration manager，because the default is x86.
Good Luck!
I install the plugin but it does't work properly，there are some errors in it.At the last,I installed it from plug-in manager TnT.
The instructions do say
To install the plugin manually for usage with Notepad++, copy ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin subfolder into the plugins directory (Notepad++ installation dir)\Notepad++\Plugins.
But this is wrong. You must create a folder Notepad++\Plugins\ComparePlugin. And then into that, copy the ComparePlugin.dll and ComparePlugin folder that were downloaded.
