Where is the loader compare.exe

As in ver. 2.0 the mentioned compare.exe isn't present. In ver. 1.5.6.6 it is! Why?

Hello @ranmeus ,

I am the developer of v2.0. As large portions of the code where completely rewritten a lot of things had changed. I decided to drop the stand-alone executable support and removed it as it was a separate project and was basically a way to start N++ and invoke compare on the files given on the command line. This is neither connected to N++ directly nor to the CP plugin. I'm sorry if this is inconvenient for your work-flow.

You can try using the compare.exe from v.1.5.6.6 and see if that works. It might because as I said the executable simply invokes N++ and triggers compare on the files. On the other hand it may fail because of the changes to the plugin interface. I can't say for sure.

Am I to understand that there is now no way to invoke Notepad++ from the command line with a pair of documents? If so, this is a showstopper for me, as I need to code it in to a PowerShell script. I'd rather use Notepad++, but suppose WinMerge is a better product for this purpose.
