I'm new to Meld and have tried to search for this and have not found
anything.  If this has already been requested and I missed it, I apologize.

 

I have used SourceGear DiffMerge for a while now and have grown rather fond
of the context menu they have in Windows.  

 

This lets the user open the file or folder in DiffMerge, but what I use this
for is to Remember Folder for my first folder.

 



Then for the second folder I use the new context menu that pops up to
compare the second folder with the remembered folder.  This does get a bit
tedious with the multiple levels of contextual folders, but it does give
good flexibility.  The remembered files and folders are stored in
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SourceGear\SourceGear DiffMerge\ShellExtension".
The problem they have is the remembered files and folders never get deleted
so I have a batch file that runs as a scheduled task to delete this folder
and recreates it to clear all entries.

 

Something like this would be really nice to have as a part of Meld.  Even if
what would happen from the Windows context menu was to bring up the UI and
let the user select whether to do a diff or a 3 way merge and choose the
other options needed.
