drag N Drop diff new version 2-28-2012
Posted: 05 Feb 2012, 22:05
it is very easy dragndrop one file into the input box
then dragndrop the second file you want to compare it to
thats it
it will auto make a diff and save it in $HOME
the diff result gets auto opened with your default text editor
I use this one a lot and thought to share
