A recent-path list would be useful, but a saved session file would solve more: reopen both folders and restore the comparison view after closing Code Compare.

A Delphi-aware diff should parse units into declarations and method bodies, rather than compare lines alone. It could ignore formatting and comments while flagging changed signatures, visibility, class members, and implementation changes. Conditional compilation and compiler directives need separate handling, since two builds can legitimately expose different code under different defines.

A proper 3-way merge should show Base, Local, and Other as separate inputs, with a distinct Merged result that can be edited. The Base is needed to tell which changes are new on each side; without seeing it alongside both versions, resolving overlapping edits is guesswork. A useful implementation would also let users choose which side to take for each conflict and edit the result directly.

Per-comparison regex rules with include/exclude modes and a preview of matched lines would make this safer to use.
Image diffs would help review UI assets, especially with side-by-side and overlay views highlighting changed regions.
