Compare selected files in explorer view seems to be broken on Win32

[GitMensch]

• go to Explorer-view
• select two files
• open context-menu
• see "[Diff & Merge] Compare selected files" and click on it
• nothing seems to happen

The protocol from extension host shows

The file is located at "X:\root\dir", but the directory path is not in the argument.

Thank you for noticing!
I don't have a machine with Win32 but I'll try to get one with by a virtual machine.
What version of windows are you using?

What version of windows are you using?

Shouldn't matter, I guess it is all the same. The most relevant targets are likely Win10, then Win11, then some Windows server, but as noted this likely happens in all the same way.

[moshfeu]

So far I didn't have the chance to work on that so if someone has windows and can help fixing it, that would be awesome.

Hey bot, that was too fast - it is definitely still an open issue and as many people still use Windows clients likely one that should be fixed and kept open until this is solved.

Maybe the bot can be adjusted to don't add wontfix labels if another label is in, possibly something like helpwanted.
