Came across this post while looking to see if the compare plug in could do this. Since it cannot, I too think this would be a helpful feature since I don't want to scroll through an entire file to validate the differences.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Please include my vote to add this feature! This plugin is very well thought-out, and implemented well. Being able to see the differences is great. Being able to optionally see ONLY the differences and being able to save those out to another file would really complete this plugin. Great work!

Yes, this would be a very nice feature to have. Recently I had to compare lots of files with over half a million rows in them and having the ability to only show the differences would have been very useful indeed.

You have my vote! I'm regularly comparing XML files about 55K lines long, with few but essential differences. A jump to next warning sign would be great.

This would be a great enhancement to the Compare Plugin. An option like "show only differences" would do a great job.

Or at least a way to jump to the next difference.
The current iteration of the plugin does let you navigate the differences.
