In version 2.16.12, when comparing a single file in the 'Select Files or Folders window', WinMerge will now automatically copy the file to a temporary folder and compare it with the original file.

Although not in real-time, when WinMerge regains focus after another application has updated the original file, a message box will appear asking if the file should be reloaded.

To specify this from the command line, specify /self-compare
