[Feature request]: Add support for diff compare

IgorKrupenja opened this issue · 2 comments

Not sure if it can be easily implemented but would be amazing if this plugin also supported comparing two binary files using VSCode's compare feature.

Unfortunately, "buffer" editors cannot be compared, this seems to be a VSCode limitation.

But, you can copy the content of an hexdump into files, and compare them.

Thanks for the suggestion! After reading this I just used the copy/paste method along with WinMerge to compare binary files.

I see this topic was last updated in 2018 so hopefully a new API or future API will allow for comparing two buffers.

And thanks for HexDump it's currently my hex viewer of choice when I've needed a hex viewer in the past year.
