Automatic deleting lnk and not original file after transcoding

Post by taner »

Hello Steinar,

Happy new year!

Steinar, I have a question. Is it possible to tell the command executor only to delete the lnk-file after transcoding and not the corresponding original-file?
I've found no way to do that.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Taner,

Currently this is not easy to do. FFAStrans discard any reference to the .lnk file so it's not available as a variable. But I can see why that would be a good option so I will create a new variable %s_reference_file% which will be .lnk, .xml, .json and other text based files FFAStrans potentionally can recognize that points to other media files. Thanks for reporting! :-)
