1) FileMerge asks you for a merge folder when you want to save changes. Now, I'm not sure I've ever in my life wanted to save a merge into a third location - I always want to merge changes from one file into another. There should be an option to merge into the right hand folder, and the folder selection dialog should come up pointing to that folder by default. I have many times accidentally saved merges into the wrong folder, sometime destroying perfectly good files.

I don't have much of an answer for your first complaint. However you should know that there indeed are keyboard shortcuts. Try using the down & up arrows to move between differences, and the left and right arrow to 'choose' which version you want.

That's useful to know. I hadn't worked that one out!

One other thing I recently stumbled across (which you may already know about) was that the 'Compare Files..." dialog is expandable. And you can drag files/folders between the different image wells. I just drag my right file icon down to the Merge well & that avoids the whole save dialog.
