I'm searching something like windiff.
I know QT has version control utilities, but in this case my need is simplest.
I only want to see the differences betwen two files.
Any help, Thanks.

So what is wrong with windiff?

If you do not use SCM, on Win platform you can use Notepad++ and use Compare plugin.

not to my knowledge.
You can specify a version control tool when you create a project.
Since I am not a QtCreator user I can't say to what extent the version control is then integrated and accessible in the QtCreator, but I would expect to have a context menu with the selected version control tool functions, and most have a diff function.

Even for the simplest of applications I find version control invaluable for this feature alone.
