[Feature Request] Windows shortcut to target a specific drive

#1 Post by 9Nails » Sat Apr 25, 2020 2:45 am

Can I set a command line parameter to tell MakeMKV to use a specific drive in my Windows 10 computer? I would like to use single drive mode, but tell MakeMKV which drive it's to use through the shortcut target instead of manually picking a drive from the list. (My drives are of the same type, so they don't appear different to me.)

Questioning the use of:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\makemkv.exe" DRV:0
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\makemkv.exe" DRV:1

Hello:

But something that might be a feature request for a future version. And maybe not that hard to implement (see disclaimer below).

Reasoning:
Currently the command line MakeMKV has a hidden tool, SDF. That tool HAS the ability to specifically use a specific drive via the -d option. Maybe, just maybe MakeMKV GUI coding could be altered to utilize the -d option from the SDF tool.

Disclaimer:
Of course I have no idea how much coding this would take if it is at all possible, and saying vs doing is actually easier said than done.

Regards,
A
