heku/kool.vsdiff

Another open source Visual Studio extension to make file/code comparison easier.

Hi there 👋

kool.vsdiff's Issues

Focusing VS Search (Ctrl+Q) causes an error dialog when no files are open

See https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Quick-Search-gives-immediate-error-when-/1374751

We identified the issues is caused by NullReferenceException in DiffClipboardWithCodeCommand.OnBeforeQueryStatus() and then BaseCommand.OnBaseBeforeQueryStatus() showing an error dialog.

Please don't show any dialogs during QueryStatus calls, they are intended to be very fast and have no side effects except modifying command state.
Thanks!

Allow case-insensitive compare

Will folder comparison be added in the future?

I usually use Beyond Compare to compare folders and files, will folder comparison be added in the future?

Want to compare the current opened file with clipboard

Hi, heku,

Thanks for your great extension.

If you're willing, I'd like to compare the current opened file with clipboard.
Maybe there's a command on the file tab context menu or main menu to execute.

If so, I can compare the current file without accessing the Solution Explorer.
Furthermore, I can compare an external file which doesn't belong the solution.

Thank you again, Regards,
Wanzyee

Could you add the comparison of last two opened document tabs?

I think it will be very useful to have an option to compare two last opened document tabs like it's done in a Compare plugin of notepad++.
Because it's not necessary that the opened file is a part of the solution. It can be externally opened in Visual Studio.
Is that possible?

Since last VS update, not showing in menus, unable to access

Could we let it support edit left side window ?

When Compare 2 files, the left side window is locked, can't edit. Is that possible that we could let it editable like right side too?
