I have used versions of BC with older versions of Linux Cinnamon (18.x), and BC always appeared in the context menu.
Not so for Cinnamon 19.2. I don't know what could have changed. I did check the Tools->options [x] Include Beyond Compare
settings. In fact, I tried enabled all 5 methods in both 'main menu' and 'submenu'. Rebooted after, of course.
I noticed the instructions for manual methods: Copying an .so file from
/usr/lib/beyondcompare/ext/bcompare-ext-nemo.i386.so
to...
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nemo/extensions-3.0/bcompare-ext-nemo.so
NOTE: I removed .i386 from the file name, as per instructions.
Rebooted again.
No change.
I noticed that there was already a version of bcompare-ext-nautilus.so in
folder /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nautilus/extensions-3.0/. The size matches
the relative file bcompare-ext-nautilus.amd64.so in the BC/ext folder. Note
that this is the amd64 version, not i386. But given that was already copied
to the nautilus/extensions-3.0 folder, it obviously did not work.
Any ideas?
