Hello,

I have noticed that after upgrading from 7.x to 8.x the "Diff with Vim" right click is no longer working.

Has anyone else also experienced this?
If I run: gvim -d file1 file2 it works as expected.

Has the GVimExt been updated to use the embedded diff?

Note: I am used bins from: https://www.mx.tuxproject.de/projects/vim/

Regards and thanks in advance for any info,
Sebastian

Please check the following registry entry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}\InProcServer32

Change the gVim program path to vim80 instead of vim74.

HTH.

Thanks for the reply, I have checked the value but it's allready on vim80

C:\Program Files\vim80\gvimext\gvimext.dll (See attachment)

Do you know how I could debug this issue?

Regards,
Sebastian

is your gvim.exe located in "C:\Program Files\vim80" or in "C:\Program
Files\vim\vim80"? In the latter case the path in the registry should
probably be

C:\Program Files\vim\vim80\gvimext\gvimext.dll

(note the additional "\vim")?

Regards,
Jürgen

My vim is in 'C:\Program Files\vim80' (See attachment)
So my reg path matches "C:\Program Files\vim80\gvimext\gvimext.dll"

I am running Windows 10 would this be a possible problem? is this functionality working for you?

Thanks in advance,
Seb
