kdiff-ext Description

Why? I use Windows explorer as my main File Manager. From time to time I need to see what is the difference between two files. There are many graphical diff programs available. Like kdiff3, tkdiff, WinMerge, CSDiff, Araxis Merge etc. Unfortunately these tools do not give one ability to Compare Files from Explorer or (in case of Araxis) do not allow to compare files from different directories easily. So, I wrote a very simple extension to Explorer's context menu. This shell extension (diff-ext) makes it possible to launch file comparison tool for 2 or 3 files (depending on the tool) in the same directory or "save" a file(s) for later comparison. It acts as external most recent used (MRU) file list for the comparison tool. Diff-ext has also been ported to Unix/Linux. It works in Gnome, KDE and XFCE environmrnts. Diff-ext integrates with Nautilus (gdiff-ext), Konqueror (kdiff-ext) and Thunar (xdiff-ext) file managers.
