Compare context menu in Winmerge

I heavily use Beyond compare to compare and merge files. I personally like the BC's context menu option "Select left side to compare" and "Compare to xxx" But one fine day the trial version expired and the only other alternate is WinMerge.


Winmerge also has this option buried deep under the options dialog box.
Open winmerge.exe from C:\Program Files\WinMerge\winmergeU.exe and select Edit-> options


Here you go with the Winmerge's compare To option enabled in context menus

Thank you. I reinstalled WinMerge couple of times hoping to get compare to context menu option as I have on other system and I don't remember setting this option.
