Delete original files after conversion

[dickienel]

I just upgraded from dbpoweramp R11 to R12. In R12 is there a way to automatically delete the original files after conversion like there was in R11? Thanks

It is now a DSP effect. If you click the DSP button and click one of the options there (not in front of my computer), you are taken to a page where you download a zip file with the DSP effects it in. Currently, work is being done on the DSPs, so there are some missing DSPs.
Anyway, the DSP effect you want is called "Delete Source File", I believe.

Browse to last converted folder

That worked great! Thanks for the quick reply. One more stupid quesiton - When I open up dBpoweramp converter R12, I would like it to browse to the last folder I converted. Instead, it always goes to the last location I used for R11. Is there a way to set it so that the splash screen of "select files to convert" is the last one you did convert/

Is this the batch converter?

Sorry for the late response, just got back from a trip. No, this is with the non-batch conversion. When I do the first click on "dBpoweramp music convertor", it opens up a window "select audio files". In release 11, this window would be whatever the last files or folder I converted. In R12, this always goes to the same location which was the last folder I had opened in R11 before I upgraded. I then have to browse to wherever the new file I want to convert is. It is not critical, just an annoyance. Thanks.

Windows its self is supposed to remember the last path used (for programs), you have xp?

Re: Delete original files after conversion

That is a very strange option to call a DSP effect. This information is dug pretty deep in this forum, also. Leaving it as an option directly in the Music Converter's main screen is the way to go. I believe that this is an option that is very common and relates directly to how the files are created, not a DSP effect.

Another part of the GUI that confuses me is how the presets are selected for MP3 conversion. I miss the simple dropdown with the "--alt-presets" there as I'm wondering if moving the slider on the new GUI to "standard" really gives me what I'm used to. Also, the converter doesn't seem to save your previous settings here which can make for a rather paranoid user.

I should add that I like the new interface and how the batch file converter automatically skips over non-audio files much better than v11. Nicely done. I look forward to continued updates of this great product.

Having it as a post in the dMC FAQ section of this forum doesn't seem very "deep" to me: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?p=61020

Also, I believe it was removed as an option due to people accidentally checking it, or leaving it checked.

Re: Delete original files after conversion

On the dB Windows explorer window not going back to the last file decoded - Yes, I have XP and it works on the R11 version of dBpower amp as well as my other programs. The only instance when it does not work is with the R11 dBpower amp. this is what lead me to believe it is some kind of bug. Agian, no big deal - I really do like R12 in general.
