I installed both programs and created a NppExec script to start winmerge. 5 years, 9 months ago WinMerge is the way to go (even while being fan of Notepad++) 5 years, 9 months ago Yes that is true. But this method (answer) is still valid for adding plugins manually for almost any Notepad++ plugins.ĭisclaimer: the link of this guideline refer to my personal web site.ģ months, 3 weeks ago Related Topics file compare notepad++ Comments 6 years, 4 months ago I believe that this is actually the same plugin that mentioned 5 years, 12 months ago This is beneficial when you cannot download the plugin because of the access control matter. Thanks to with this update: Notepad++ Now has " Plugin Admin" as a replacement for the old Plugin Manager. dll fileģ2bit: %programfiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins It is also possible to drag and drop the plugin. The plugin should appear under Plugins menu.Import plugin from the temporary folder.Unzip Compare-plugin in temporary folder.Press F1 to find out if your Notepad++ is 64bit or 32bit (86x), hence you need to download the correct plugin version.Start your Notepad++ as administrator mode.So Keep in mind, if you use 64 bit version of Notepad++, you should also use 64 bit version of plugin, and the same valid for 32bit. And YES it matters if you use 64bit or 32bit (86x).

You have to download and install plugins manually.

Notepad++ 7.5 and newer versions does not have plugin manager. I use Compare plugin 2 for notepad++ 7.5 and newer versions.
