A dialog for File->Merge

[MikeJ]

Again, I think it was already explained before, but the main concept here is: you can have selections in the current scene and you can have selections in the scene being merged. So you would make a combination of then.

Yes, "keep current" is needed for when you have a selection in the current scene and merge in a file with a selection that you want to ignore.

These two statements seem to be in contradiction with one another. The first one seems to indicate that the selections in the merged file will be combined with the selections in the current file; where as the second one seems to indicate that the selections in the merged file will be ignored. So I'm still confused as to what it does. All I can say is that I hope the info line has a very long and clear explanation for what each one of these options does, otherwise it will be up to the user to practice many experiments with the merge function before actually doing what they need. :-)
