Just tried again with the latest nightly build. It works as expected.
If you have modified the bottom pane, it will ask you if you want to
save your changes before exiting, and clicking "yes" will save the file
to the /merge:"" path even if that file doesn't exist.
If you click on save, it will save the file to the /merged:"" path
without asking.

And if you check the code, it will also automatically create any
intermediate folders which don't exist yet so it can save the file to
the requested path.

The only reason it would ask for a path to save the file to is if it
can't save the file to the path you've specified with the /merged:""
param (i.e., if the file exists but is readonly).
