Is there a way to directly compare two plugins?

Side by side?

I forgot to document my changes and need to compare both old and new version of my plugin know what exactly has been added so I can see whether I've missed something or not, but I just can't find a way to do it, since they will always have different FormID.

TES5Edit.

While it is for cleaning, it also allows you to load multiple files within and check their records.

It is useful for comparing changes, but it cannot do anything about new records.

My plugin creates a lot of new records, and I need to check which ones I haven't made yet, TES5EDIT can't do anything about that.

Basically, I need a utility that allows me to load 2 different plugins with the same load index, so I can directly compare the contents of them, for version check

Hmm another method I can think of is opening 2 CKs. One for the old plugin and one for the new one.

change this setting in your SkyrimEditor.ini if it's 0:

bAllowMultipleEditors=1

Sorry if this doesn't help.

Hmmm... it could work, but quite impractical for the stuff I need it to do.

Oh well... can't have everything. I'll note it down as a last resort
