simplecompare's Introduction

Compare files and folders using external tool in fman

Compare files

Select two files or folders and run "Compare files" from the Command Palette.

Save to compare

Select one file or folder and run "Save to compare" from the Command Palette. Select another file or folder and run "Compare with saved" from the Command Palette.

External tools

When used first time it asks for a comparison tool. Any tool with command line interface which accepts two files or folders can be used. Example of comparison tools: KDiff3, WinMerge, Beyond Compare, or other (see this wiki article for more comparison tools).

Installation

Use fman's built-in command for installing plugins.

MAC Permission Denied

Hi, thanks for the plugin, unfortunately, it is not working on mac. Next error is raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fman/impl/plugins/command_registry.py", line 128, in _execute_command
  File "/Users/marcomedrano/Library/Application Support/fman/Plugins/Third-party/SimpleCompare/simpleCompare/__init__.py", line 25, in __call__
    ComparisonToolRunner.compare_files(savedToCompare, selectedFile)
