explorer integration for comparison

Post by uzhkijhghk »

It would be nice to have the file comparison of hxd available in explorer context menus (select first file, select second file, if second file is selected start to compare)

+1. I've mentioned this elsewhere, and also described the problem with how HxD currently loads via the Explorer context menu which results in the need for this (unless, of course, that problem is fixed, but this functionality would still be nice), but I didn't make a specific request for it, so decided to and saw this. And I agree, doing it like this, which is similar to WinMerge, would be ideal, to allow for files from different directories to be easily compared. That said, I currently just open one in HxD then drag the other one into the window, which is just about as easy and fast, so the real usability improvement would be to be able to open two files simultaneously and always have them open in the same window, thereby working around the previously mentioned issue.
