Trouble with XYPlorer and WinMerge

[cesarbl]

Hi recently I moved to W7 so I installed XYPlorer of course but I have a trouble with one app called WinMerge. The situation is that XYPlorer doesn't show the contextual menus for that app but Windows Explorer does, someone can explain me why happens this or how can I fix it?

By the way, in XP there is no problem.

Greetings!

Hi and welcome,

I'm guessing that your Windows 7 version is 64-bit, in which case this FAQ applies.

For more information, please see here.

Another option is:
1) Define a user-defined command (UDC) to fun WinMerge. For example, Select User->ManageCommands, then select the Open With category. Then select "New..." from the upper right. In the "Application" field, type something like this:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" -e <items>

and then complete the command
2) Then define a Keyboard Shortcut (KS). For example, select Tools->Customize Keyboard Shortcuts. Select the User category, find your WinMerge Open With command defined above, and select it. Then just assign the desired key combination (I use Ctrl-Shift-W) and close the dialog.

To compare two files, I just highlight the two files I want to compare, and the press the key combination (I use Ctrl-Shift-W) and Winmerge starts with those two files selected.

I hope this helps!

Alternatively what I use to compare the current file with the one on the clipboard:

Code: Select all

|"WinMerge (clip / cur)" *;\>"C:\Programme\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" "<item1>" "<clipboard>"

Thanks for your feedback but already I managed to register the 32-bits shell extensions using another distribution package of WinMerge.

Best Regards!
