If you want mkvmerge to check if all files named on the command line exist before actually opening and analyzing them then my answer is "no". This would mean quite a lot of changes to the very core of mkvmerge, one area I try to change as little as possible.

However, I can and will get rid of the 'pre-parsing' stage in FLAC's reader soon. It is not necessary if I get rid of the libFLAC dependency at the same time and implement my own FLAC file format parser which is easy enough to do -- mkvmerge only needs to know a few basic parameters about each FLAC frame; the data doesn't have to be decoded.
