TortoiseMerge Resolve & Save

Hi Folks,

is it just me who finds the process of resolving conflicts and closing
TortoiseMerge a bit awkward. Maybe I have missed something and I'm just
using the application in an awkward way, but for me TortoiseMerge lacks a
resolve & save or resolve, save & close function.

When I'm done with editing conflicts, I do these three actions to really
finish.
1: Click "Save"
2: Click "Resolve"
3: Click "Close"

1&2 may be reversed.

I know that TortoiseMerge prompts me for unsaved changes if I just close,
but does it also offer me the option to mark the conflict as resoved? I
don't know while I'm in TortoiseMerge, so in order not to be sorry and have
to do the merge again, I try to finish everything before closing.

IIRC, resolving conflicts in TortoiseMerge doesn't interact with the
TortoiseSVN merge dialog, so when I get a conflict during a branch merge, I
have to makr the conflict as resolved there (again).
I haven't merged a branch with 1.8 yet, so maybe that has changed, but my
wish is that resolving a conflict in TortoiseMerge needs as few user
actions as possible. It already feeds back into the SVN update dialog, but
should also feed back into the merge dialog, if possible.

Isn't the "resolve" button in TortoiseMerge just the last touch of a
conflict resolution?
Shouldn't it be part of the "file" menu, like "resolve & save" or "resolve
& save as"?

In case of conflicted files, could we change the two standard file entries
to "resolve & save" and "resolve & save as"?

Resolve is not necessary for a standard diff, but for conflicted files it
is mandatory. Maybe it is different for other users, but I didn't have a
conflicted file yet that I did not resolve and save and close. Either I
closed without resolving and saving or I did both, but never save without
resolve or resolve without save.

Thoughts?

Cheers
