I found an odd "bug" in the way that the file conversion is working with the filenames. (Not sure you'd consider it a bug, per se, but as it's resulting in me constantly getting these files removed as extras, then rewritten again...)
1) Create a file such that the filename ends with two periods before the extension
Example: S:\McCall, C.W\C.W. McCall - Greatest Hits\01-009) 'Round The World With The Rubber Duck - McCall, C.W..mp3
2) Convert the file
(I tried using both
D:\Converted to 192\<Folder>\<Filename>
and
D:\Converted to 192\<Path>
with the same results)
3) The file SHOULD be
D:\McCall, C.W\C.W. McCall - Greatest Hits\01-009) 'Round The World With The Rubber Duck - McCall, C.W..mp3
But instead, becomes
D:\McCall, C.W\C.W. McCall - Greatest Hits\01-009) 'Round The World With The Rubber Duck - McCall, C.W.mp3
The second period is being "eaten" when it creates the file.
Maybe it should be doing the same thing when it first creates the file, but either way, the fact that the filename isn't being copied exactly has caused me some exasperation, and I thought I'd report it.
(S and D are arbitrary - the original location and destination don't matter, nor does the original file type.)
I know the operating system is "eating" the period in the folder name, as it won't create a folder with a period at the end - but the filename is ending with the artist's name, which works when using the auto organize, but not when performing the conversion.
Thought I'd let you know of this oddity with filename creation.
Thank you,
