This is very similar to the single file merge and comparison. You just
have to specify directories on the command line or in the file-open
dialog.

When three directories are merged then <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="replaceable"><em class="replaceable"><code>dir1</code></em></span>
is used as the base for the merge.
If no destination directory is specified, then <span class="application">KDiff3</span> will use <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="replaceable"><em class="replaceable"><code>dir3</code></em></span>
as the destination directory for the merge.
</p><p>
Note that only the comparison starts automatically, not the merge. For this you first must
select a menu entry or the key F7. (More details later.)
