Request for HIGHLIGHT/SELECT in Batch Converter

[Eric Seaberg]

I do a lot of Radio Program encoding using dBpoweramp and always use the Batch Converter because I may have as many as 8-different versions of a specific program to encode. After adding all metadata into the original WAV files, I can open Batch Converter and have it separate out all programs properly using the metadata.

I don't typically encode ALL programs in a particular folder at once as our program process may only master 5-programs at a time, so I spend a lot of time clicking on individual files within the parent folders for the encode to begin.

I just discovered to option to FILTER anything done within the last 24-hours, which helps, but it'd be GREAT if I could shift-click the files I want and then, maybe, command-option-shift-click to 'tick' the selected files... something like shift-select when using the Music Converter.

Currently using 17.3.


Thanks

I DL'd the beta... how do you implement the selection? I command-select the staggered originals I want to encode which keeps them highlighted... then what? Thanks!

You have to click to put a check mark in the box

I have beta 4 and shift or command-select to highlight the files I want to encode. No key stroke options I try will TICK the randomly selected files, I still have to select them one at a time.

Are you able to make this work?


Thanks for the app, Spoon!

Space key toggles checkmarks on the selected items.
