Thank you for the reply Jon, DiffMerge has a command line interface and provides a shell script wrapper. I wrote a sample Applescript that will read two file names and feed it to the shell script. Is there a way for the AppleScript file to read the filenames from the first pane in quicksilver if I use the Current Selection proxy?
