Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If a mod's files have conflicts with another mod, users would like to easily see the differences in the two versions of the file. Currently, users have to:

  1. Open one mod and go to the Conflicts tab.
  2. Click "Open in Explorer" to open the folder.
  3. Click "Go to..." -> other mod in the Conflicts tab.
  4. Click "Open in Explorer" to open the other folder.
  5. Open both files manually and compare.

MO2-Diff-Problem

Describe the solution you'd like.

On the Conflicts tab in mod details, provide a new option "Compare to...". This will show the same list as "Go to...".
MO2-Diff-Solution

When you select the mod to compare, open an external diff tool, passing both files as arguments. For example:
WinMergeU <current file> <same file from compare mod>

This will probably need a configuration page to specify the Diff tool and its argument options format.
