INTEGRATING MERGE WITH FINDER (OPTIONAL)

The Merge extension for Finder adds commands to the Finder context menus that appear when you right-click (or Ctrl-click) selected files or folders. The extension is not enabled by default, and must therefore be enabled via macOS System Preferences before it can be used. To enable or disable the Merge Finder extension: Open the macOS System Preferences. Choose the Extensions item. To enable Finder integration, check the Araxis Merge▸Finder checkbox. To disable Finder integration, uncheck the Araxis Merge▸Finder checkbox.

If you encounter problems using a Merge command-line utility, check that there is not an identically named command elsewhere on your path. Note specifically, for example, that ImageMagick provides its own compare command. You can check which compare command is taking precedence by running: which compare If you are upgrading from an earlier Merge build, please remove any copies of the command-line utilities that you might have made in the past.
