WinMerge is an Open Source differencing and merging tool for Windows. WinMerge can compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual text format that is easy to understand and handle.
Currently in the Folder Compare dialog there's an "Options..." button at the top right, which has ignore case etc and a submenu "Compare Method -->"
There's a lot of free space beside the button.
I think the "Compare Method" should be removed to its own button to the immediate left of this button and display button text the chosen compare method and then the drop list to alter it (equivalent to the submenu of the current button). This would both make access to the items one less click and also help when switching a lot between Binary and Modified-Size comparison methods since you can visually see what you're on from the button text.
The "White Spaces" submenu of the current presentation only has three items and I think would be best as not a sub menu but just 3 items followed by a separator in the same level as the other options there, as this would make it easy to see which items are chosen, currently you don't see which of the Whitespaces options are selected since they are in the sub sub menu.
