    Secure Extraction Log - filename without file path

    In the Secure Extraction Log, the entire file path is included behind the 'Filename: '.
    I would much rather only have the filename (title of the file) without the file path, as the entire file path can change and is rather long.

    Well, that may be your like, but I'm happy it lists the whole path. More than once, seeing that the rip was saved in the wrong directory, I realized I had the wrong rip profile selected. I have one profile for my collection I listen to and another that I use to rip CDs for editing into a different directory. Without the whole path listed, the rip would have just "disappeared" until I happened to do some more editing.

      The extraction log is saved in the same location as the files after they have been ripped. I don't see any setting to change the log path. Are you using some DSP to move files around?
      The path is also displayed in the top-left corner of the CD Ripper.
      So how come you can find the log but not the ripped files?

        Read what I said. I'm reading the log at the end of the rip when it is displayed, before I close it, when I'm making sure it was a good rip, not after I closed it. Once I close it, I wouldn't know where the files went. In fact I might well not notice they were missing until after the ripping session and went to play them. By looking closely at the extraction log after each rip, I've discovered this before ripping a whole bunch of discs. And since not only is the stored directory different, but one rips to FLAC and and the other to WAV with different different DSPs applied for the different profiles. By catching it after the first rip I only had to rerip one CD, not a whole bunch.

          You mean 'dBpoweramp CD Ripper: Information' that is shown after ripping?
          I'm only talking about the 'Secure Ripping Log.txt' file saved in the folder where the ripping is taking place.

          For me, the file path in the .txt file is rather useless. Once you change the folder name in the path or move the song/album around, the 'filename' doesn't match. I would rather just have the 'filename' without the file path.
