Remove "Use stand-alone 7-Zip if available" and "Use local 7-Zip from WinMerge folder" radio button from "Archive Support" page (Now always use local 7-Zip from WinMerge folder).See the change log section "Archive support" for changes to the functionality.įor the 2.15.2 release, the changelog says: Archive support Since WinMerge 2.15.2 (), archives are supported out of the box. How do I get this working in WinMerge? And if it's not possible, is there some other good tool that has this capability?
#Winmerge plugins .dll
dll files from the plugin into the MergePlugins folder, without success. I've tried both installing as a "shared installation" and as an "application specific installation" (pointing the installer to C:\Programs\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe). I've tried using WinMerge with the 7zip plugin, but I can't get the plugin to work (the files are not recognized as archives in the folder compare view). I know I could just explode all the archives manually and compare the exploded versions, but since they are generated by a build script and exploding them adds a considerable amount of time for building the project, it would be nicer to just do it for the comparison, preferrably within the diff tool. Other files, both text and binary files both outside and inside the archives, should be compared as usual.

I'd like to do directory comparison on these directories, comparing the archives as if they were subfolders rather than binary files.
#Winmerge plugins zip file
I have two directories which contain a handful of *.jar and *.war archives, as well as some metadata files and a file with *.spring extension, which is really just a zip file with an odd name.
