I have installed meld in Ubuntu 10.10. Is there any way I can get something like "Select left to compare" and "Compare with" context menu for files that is there in Beyond Compare.

Install Nautilus actions.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions

System > Settings > Nautilus Actions

Define new action:

Label: Meld..
Icon: /usr/share/pixmaps/meld.png
Path: /usr/bin/meld
Parameters: %M
Conditions : check “Appears if selection contains”    

Then restart nautilus

nautilus -q

The question is kind of old but I thought I'd comment anyways because no seems to have suggested the best nautilus extension for this task - diff-ext. It is cross platform and if you are running Debian/Ubuntu installing it should be as simple as sudo apt-get install diff-ext.

Check out some screenshots here - http://diff-ext.sourceforge.net/screenshots.shtml
