Merging always takes place when you discard a snapshot with hard disks. Putting the word "merge" to the action name seems not a good option for me for two reasons: 1) "merge" requires two subjects (what is merged into what) which makes it harder to understand what it does when we say just "merge" w/o properly naming both subjects; 2) we cannot make the action screen-name too long by putting the complete description into it :) Anyway, thank you for the feedback. We are working on making the Snapshot UI easier to understand. There will be at least a section in the context sensitive help that will describe every snapshot action in detail and with examples. The whole snapshot function is complicated "by design" and not yet widely used, which adds extra difficulty for understanding it by newbies. -- keep cool, Dmitry A.
