fun with user command in the start menu

Post by *pinkchry »

Awesome program! I have a couple of quick questions.

1) I made a new command in the start menu usint lst2str to verify flac files

Command list2str.exe
Parameters /X:"flac.exe" /L:%f /S:"-t"

However the dos window immediately closes. Is there anyway I can make it pause. I tried to create a bat file, but list2str.exe doesn't seem to work with batch files

2) Is there any way to automate the decode for a bunch of selected files. For instance

a.rar.01.uue, a.rar.02.uue, etc...
a.r01.01.uue, a.r01.02.uue etc...

Can I automatically run decode on a.rar.01.uue and a.r01.01.uue.


Thanks

Hi,

There are several problems I can see, first, flac can only work on file at a time, if you selected a couple of them you'll get an error. lst2str runs the command you specify on _all_ the files, which means that if you selected two files:
file1.flac
file2.flac

and ran the command, the following would happen:

flac.exe -t file1.flac file2.flac
which is not good since as I said flac should only recieve one file.

The second is that this would only work if TC can find flac.exe... which I doubt, you need to specify the full path to flac.exe for example:
/X:"C:\audio\encoders\flac.exe"
same goes to your files, but that is a smaller issue.
Is there any way to automate the decode for a bunch of selected files.
Well this would answer your first problem as well, currently the only solution is to use Christians batch plugin, however I'm working on lst2run.exe which would let you do exactly what you want. The program is not yet complete but the needed functions are already there and it seems stable, I'll probably release an alpha version here in the forum, so check it out later today.

Cheers.
