Ignore white spaces in pending changes in GitExtensions

Question

In the Pending GitExtensions window in Visual Studio, how can I make it ignore spaces. when I use a format document, it often inserts tabs into the old code, but this line does not really change. the problem is that it looks like the whole class has changed and makes it easy to skip the actual changes.

I tried to configure kdiff and also tried to configure the diff tool in gitextensions to use winmerge. none of them have an effect.

Mergetool C: / Program Files (x86) /WinMerge/winmergeu.exe

MergeTool command "C: / Program Files (x86) /WinMerge/winmergeu.exe" -e -u -dl "Original" -dr "Changed" "$ MERGED" "$ REMOTE"

DiffTool C: / Program Files (x86) /WinMerge/winmergeu.exe

DiffTool Command "C: / Program Files (x86) /WinMerge/winmergeu.exe" -e -u "$ LOCAL" "$ REMOTE"

In the differences window, you can select "ignore spaces" in the context menu. Hope this helps!
