    How to set file paths in dmC File selector

    So I have all my music on one drive organised as:

    Y:\music\flac\artist\album\artist_track.*
    Y:\music\ogg\artist\album\artist_track.*
    Y:\music\mp3\artist\album\artist_track.*

    I select all the flac files and want to convert to ogg, I check "Keep Path When Convert" and select a destination:

    Y:\music\ogg\

    hoping to get everything converted and into the same structure but now in the ogg folder. Trouble is it keeps too much of the path as in:

    Y:\music\ogg\flac\artist\album\artist_track.* and what I want is:
    Y:\music\ogg\artist\album\artist_track.*

    How do I get around that ? Basically I want to be able to scan my entire flac collection every now and then and convert all the new tracks into the ogg folder with automatic folder creation.

    It is probably simple but I can't figure it out :o

    This thread was posted a few years ago with the same problem but no answer:
    A little while ago, I tried to "catch up" with my music collection and wanted to convert and include my new MP3's in my Ogg Vorbis collection and as I already had dMC installed, I also downloaded the File selector to make things a little easier. I always convert with "Output to same folder as original" and

    There is no way for the program to know you want just the first part preserving.

    The later Music Converters (r12) will be able to specify the encoder as part of the filename, which would work in this example.
