Files/Compare by content: content plugin
Posted: 2017-07-14, 17:33 UTC
In the "Files/Compare by content" function we have the ability to select
whether we want to compare two files in text format or in binary format.
It would be nice if we also had the ability to select a content plugin.
The selected content plugin would then return a string for each file and those
two returned strings would then be compared.
usage example:
We could write a content plug which returns all the metadata (exif/iptc/xmp) of a jpeg in one string.
We select two jpegs files, select "files/compare by content" and the plugin
we wrote and we have an overview of the difference in the metadata of those
two jpegs.
