Converting one file deletes all files in the folder

Post by DiskJunky »

I had converted 3/4 episodes on a disk and was experimenting with different encoding formats on the last episode to get a faster speed (it takes 1+ hour to convert an episode and I have a very powerful PC :-S). However, when I cancelled the conversion of #4 half way through, the option to "clean up" deleted ALL files in the folder, not just the file just created. Now I have to spend [i]another[/i] 4 hours converting the disk. Again. Grr.

Please tweak the software to delete only the files that it was worked on in that batch - not entire directory contents!

I have asked that the software will add a number to a file with the same name and extention. For exmple: Our Holiday.mpg, Our Holiday 01.mpg, Our Holiday 02. mpg and so on. Perhaps Cedric will include this in the next beta.
Deleting all the files inside the folder is a nasty bug.

@DiskJunky: I fixed your problem for the next version. Only the files converted (even partially) in last session will be deleted.

@Coral: I fixed your problem too. If previously converted files with same name exists, you will be prompted to delete them:
- if you click on "Cancel", the conversion process is aborted
- if you click on "Yes", the files with same name are deleted before starting the conversion process
- if you click "No", the previously converted files are not deleted, and the new ones will be named like "file_2.avi, file_3.avi..."

@Cedric, cool, look forward to trying it! It's great to get such a prompt response to the bug/feature requests - the software has a lot of potential and I can't wait to see it evolve :-) Keep up the good work!
