Re: TortoiseMerge executed from commandline won't auto save to /Merged filename

Stefan,

I'v located the problem!
I was still using the 1.4.4. version of TortoiseSVN because this version was installed in the default program files directory of Windows XP 64bit (C:\Program files (x86)\TortoiseSVN) while the new version was installed in c:\program files\TortoiseSVN

Even though I thought I unistalled the previous version, this must have gone wrong because of the deviation in install-directory (maybe a glitch in the uninstaller?).

Now I'v tested it with the new executables (making sure I was using 1.4.99) the merge is going perfectly!

Thanks for the support

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).
