VS2017, not available on Folder based projects

Open Farwaykorse opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Installed product versions

  • Visual Studio: 2017 Community (RC 4)
  • This extension: v1.4.24

Description

With VS2017 the ability has been added to work from a folder on disk without creating a VS solution. Currently FileDiffer isn't working in these situations.

Steps to recreate

  1. In Visual Studio 2017
  2. From the File menu or Start Page choose: Open folder
  3. Open a folder containing your source.
  4. Right-click a source file in the Solution Explorer.

Current behaviour

No FileDiffer option available in the context menu.

Expected behaviour

Since VS now supports folder based projects, I expected this tool to be usable.

The topic mentions VS 2017 so I want to mention it's not working/not fixed with 2019 versions either (I am using Version 16.9.6 to be precise). The Folder based project is the relevant information there.
