This service menu makes it easier to compare text files using the default file comparison application
Kompare. While using the button in the Dolphin's toolbar, you can select two files from the
same tab, this service extends the range of reachable files to the clipboard area managed by
Klipper and to a cache file stored in the home directory.

Install
=======

To keep the latest stable version installed, updated, and easily removed from the same interface,
it is recommended to install this service menu through *Dolphin*:
- From Settings > Context Menu > Download new services;
- Search for "compare_with_kompare";
- Click on the *Install* button and select the localized archive of your choice.

Also, the *Discover* application can install it, but doesn't allow to select a localized version:
- Under Application Addons > Servicemenu;
- Search for: "compare_with_kompare";
- Click on the *Install* button.

For debugging purposes, follow one of the other methods mentioned on the project page:
