Feature request: Remove "backup" folder

Post by jja1170 »

When I do a backup of a DVD and have a custom path set in the Video tab, the dialog adds "\backup" to the file path. I just want the ISO in the location i set in the custom path, I don't want it modified. Can you make it no longer add "\backup" or provide an option to make it optional?

This is an excellent feature request! (and I did support/purchase this excellent product)

I would also LOVE the option to disable the automatic addition of the "\backup" folder to the Default destination. When backing up entire Seasons of DVD's I am having to manually delete "\backup" out of the file path for every DVD.

If at all possible please please add this feature.

Sadly MakeMKV does not support pre/post scripts, but if you always choose the same directory, maybe you could try 'mklink /d' to link 'backup' to it's parent directory. Of course if you don't always rip to the same directory this isn't really a viable option.
