Unchanged Output Filenames

[Mel-chan]

Hello ^^ Your encoder is working really well for me and could save me a lot of time in my workflows<3

However, I ran into the issue that it always adds a tag to my filenames, especially when bulk encoding. I can't seem to find any way to disable this? Having to rename the output file every single time, is a huge task I would rather avoid. So if there is anything that can be done about this, please let me know. Thank you for your help and time, I greatly appreciate it.

Hello @Mel-chan yes it is possible to set that to what you want, but is a "hidden" option currently. You will need to modify the config file.

In FastFlix go to File > Settings and find the Config File line and click the white document icon on the right, this should open the config file in a text editor.

You will see a line that you can modify like:

output_name_format: '{source}-fastflix-{rand_4}'

Supported variables (anything in {} brackets) for output_name_format currently are:

source - original file name
datetime - "near" iso filename safe datetime (ex. 2021-05-11T3-27-00)
rand_4 - 4 random characters
rand_8 - 8 random characters

Save the config file, and then close and re-open FastFlix and should be good to go!

If this doesn't work or have more questions feel free to re-open issue, just going to close for record-keeping for now otherwise!
