file compare using plugins
I'm not sure if this already exists or has been covered but wouldn't it make sense that when you compare two files that are in binary format to also have the option to compare the files from the output of plugins (say a lister plugin)?
Sorry, WLX interface doesn't support returning output.
But WDX interface allows comparing files via special compare functions...

You may use your own program to do a (binary) file compare just by adding a line to wincmd.ini.
e.g. for WinMerge:
e.g. for WinMerge:
Code: Select all
CompareTool=C:\Tools\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe

Take for example anycmd lister plugin which returns the output and displays it within lister. How difficult is it to to get these outputs and compare? Right now you're stuck at saving the outputs and then compare.Sorry, WLX interface doesn't support returning output.

The issue is not comparing the binary data but more like comparing the output of plugins such as lister plugins.
