Just a little, not much ;)

Not stupid, but it's hard to understand them.

Since there are so many mails on this list, I usually only answer those
which I think I can answer best. But most mails can be answered by many
other people on this list too, so I leave those to them - after all, I
have to work on TSVN...

The progress dialog already stays open. If it closes for you
automatically, then check your settings, the main tab.

Already there.

Resolve conflict would mark the file which is in conflict as resolved,
but wouldn't resolve the conflict itself. And that's something really
nobody wants! That file has the conflict markers inserted by Subversion
and is therefore 'corrupt'.

Use "edit conflicts", right-click in TMerge, choose "use whole file", save.

Deleting a file? Without you having checked (opened that file first) if
it's important?

To where? Moving files is really something you should use the explorer
for, not TSVN.

That too, you can do that with the explorer much better.

Now *that* something I could do.
