Yeah I'd love to be able to do something like this, but we can't.
GTK's file chooser doesn't have a 'file or directory' mode; it's
either one or the other.

Have a look at Meld 1.7.1. The new comparison dialog is gone, and
opens a new tab that may address some of your suggestions. There's no
labels (the old labels directly related to Meld's use as a VC merge
tool) and instead correspond directly to placement in the resulting
comparison.
