Hi Jens, since Automator already creates a temporary file for the merged file, you need to add the actions "Copy Finder Items" to specify the target folder and "Rename Finder Items" using the option "Name Single Item". Selection the option "Show this action when the workflow runs" to have the user change the target folder for "Copy Finder Items" and to change the filename in "Rename Finder Items".
Is it that what you want?
Regards,
Lars
