No other option but to transcode to same folder on OSX #2776

If the Transcode tool is used on OSX, I'm not given any other option except to transcode to the same folder, this causes another issue where encoding to the same file format (such as mp3) will create a trackname.mp3.0

I expect the option to transcode to another folder so the files do not get renamed.

I have seen this on both 1.0.1 and 1.0.1-215-ga7332d1

The unavailability of this option is not MacOS specific, it is also missing on Debian Linux (Clementine 1.0.1).

Reporting from Windows 8.1, Clementine 1.2

Actually, this is an issue really detering me from using Clementine more often.

When I download music, I want to convert it to a specific mp3-bitrate to keep the file size at bay. In Clementine I can only convert files and place it "Alongside the originals". This means if I convert mp3 to mp3, it adds files ending with ".mp3.0" to the same directory - I'd have to delete the originals and rename all the files myself to make them usable.

From my point of view, there are two solutions to avoid this problem:

  1. the more elgant one: Add an option to convert the files to a different directory (suggested but not yet executed by David Sansome here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/clementine-player/Alongside$20the$20originals/clementine-player/r8VavUTAdyc/ydS6rd9hqDUJ )
  2. the more simplistic one: Add an option to overwrite the originals so that no files with ".0" are created when converting within the same file type.

The problem is not solved yet on clementine 1.2.3 (distro : archlinux). I might add that it is frustrating, because one want often to convert from flac to mp3 to be able to play the music on a portable device (autoradio, external mp3 player, etc.)

I am also running 1.2.3-7 and have the same problem. Can anyone say if this has been fixed in git or the qt5-git?

thanks

This issue seems to be fixed. You have to use developer builds (http://builds.clementine-player.org/) to get this feature.
