You can create buttons/hotkeys/context-menus/etc. in Opus which run Beyond Compare against the selected files or source/destination directories:

It’s a little different than Directory Opus, but at $30 for a standard license it’s a great deal. I find it an indispensable program and it’s rare that a day goes by where I don’t use it. It can be used to compare files and folders both locally and remotely via FTP. It allows you to easily copy entire folders, individual files, or even within a file line by line. It makes trying to determine what changed simple and allows you to easily push out only the changed files.
