[Feature request] Clicking on file output name auto selects filename

[mgutt]

If I click on the field to edit the filename it should automatically select the complete filename without the file extension. This would add a little bit comfort in editing the filenames I think.

Clicking twice does that. Third click selects whole name, including extension. I regularly make use of that.

Clicking twice does that.

This selects only one word for me?!

Hmm... You're right, that it is dependent upon what you have MakeMKV using in place of spaces in auto-generated file names. I have mine set to use "_", which was the old default. It also breaks when titles have hyphens in them, or extra periods.

When names have hyphens, I usually leave them untouched in MakeMKV, and edit the names in explorer.

Hyphens and periods aren't the only problem, brackets as well:

Code: Select all

Lost-_Season_1_(Disc_2)_e00.mkv

It would be nice to have a "{NAME3}" variable that only returns a-z, 0-9 and underscores for the rest.

As long this is not available I'll use this (with the risk of overwriting problems with parallel jobs):

Code: Select all

title_{N2}

At the moment I put the disc in the drawer, read the episodes on the label, close the drive, check the amount of selected titles, rename them and put the disc back in its case. This is faster and avoids confusion that could be caused by jumping between MakeMKV and explorer windows. My record were 8 parallel MakeMKV sessions (I have ISOs in my collection that need to be converted to MKV, too ^^).
