Thank you for this good extension, but unfortunately one important thing is missing, the comparison of the binary files. I tried several times, but the differences of the HEX files are not shown in .
It would be great if that would work, because the amount of data is very large and it is very difficult for people to visually recognize differences.
Best regards,

HEX Files not working:
ASCII Files works fine:
Workaround with external tools:
Under Windows you can use WinMerge, WinMerge can manage binary files. I have testet this on yesterday
Under Linux you can use "xxDiff":
sudo apt-get install xxdiff
make an hex file from your bin file:
xxd file1.bin file1.hex
xxd file2.bin file2.hex
