[suggestion] File extension setting #6

Open Lensman-86 opened 6 years ago

Lensman-86 commented 6 years ago

Program has been working great for me so far! again, thanks for the work in setting this up.

One suggestion i have is this: in the program, it allows you to set the format, (ogg_borbis, json, Mp3, and Pcm). my suggestion is to have that setting automatically set the file extension for the generated file.

I've found in my uses that all too often, i will spend time setting up the proper ssml, text and filename in excel, but I will forget to add the correct extension in the excel file. (so I'll see the file listed as voice 1 - 350, but none of them have the .mp3 at the end). I normally don't even recognize the oversight until after I've generated all the files, and checked explorer. I think part of this is due to my setting the MP3 at the top, so having that setting automatically create, (attach to?) the filename would be a big help, (and allow me to avoid having to batch rename the generated files.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

PS: still hopeful to find someone in the community that can covert this to a CereVoice-enabled version!
