Hi Andreas,
Hello Enrico,
- Question: Is it possible (it doesn't to be so at the moment, so
maybe planned) to configure an external diff viewer to start instead of the version control diff?
Not really. And probably there is not much need to, see below.
I thought so...

I just tried it on Windows 2000 with cvsnt. I checked out a project, modified a file and used the "From current file" menu item. It works fine except when the file's encoding is e.g. UTF-32. But this is IMO more a problem of CVS as it told on the command line that "binary files differ". I.e. the cvs tool treated the changed file as a binary file.
I have a UTF-8 file and CVSNT treats it as ASCII, so there should be no problem...
So, maybe your problem is related to the encoding of the files you use? Did you try GeanyVC (http://users.cosmostv.by/yurand/geanyvc/)? It has many more features and maybe it works better/different.
I've just tried it and here it worke with the same file I tried before with the other plugin. Well, it worked somewhat: It showed the diff, but in the status line, I could read: "Something went really wrong."
Best regards Andreas
