Additional slash when using %s_recursed_path%

Post by McDuff »

Hi.

I'm testing out a workflow for recursive paths.

In the "deliveries -> folder" processor I am using

Folder [F:\Video ConvertedFolder]
Prefix [%s_recursed_path%\]

After the encode I get an error in the output saying the system cannot find the path - it's looking for F:\Video ConvertedFolder\\subfolder\filename.

There is no leading or following slash in the folder or prefix box (I double checked).

It looks as if it is adding a slash after the folder name and before the prefix name, resulting in an error.

Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi McDuff, thank you for using FFAStrans and walcome to the forum! :-)

The prefix and suffix is for file names, not paths. Use the folder field to insert the path variable:

F:\Video ConvertedFolder%s_recursed_path%

Don't add a "\" between the static folder and the variable.
