cm_CompareFilesByContent - send 3 instead 2 filenames

Post by *Sir_SiLvA »

At the moment when you have multiple files selected and execute cm_CompareFilesByContent
only the first 2 path\filesnames of the selected files is send to the external compare
tool.

My suggestion is now instead of sending the first 2 names, send the first 3 names as some
compare tools like WinMerge allow you to compare 3 files at once.
There is no downside to this as tools who can only handle 2 compare files will just ignore the
3rd send filename.

(perhaps this could even make it into 11 final :D )

Maybe you can create your own button or hotkey with parameters %C1, %C2 and %C3?

ofc I can do that, or a start menu entry - but that wasnt the question....

I take that as an indirect answer 'no wont be changed'..... :-(
