hope to develop a parameter favorites feature added to the parameter bar

Post by *ootoo »

Here’s the translation:

"If I use a program like ffmpeg to convert files through a command or start menu, it has countless parameters. Entering them every time is too cumbersome. I would like to add them to the parameters field, but if I use '?' to include parameters, I can't save them. I hope to develop a parameter favorites feature, so that I can save a large number of parameters, and next time I won't have to re-enter them. For example, when I use ffmpeg to convert audio and video, there are two sets of command parameters. If I write them in the parameters field, there are two commands. But if I use '?' to input them, I can't save them."

DirMenu supports em_ commands. So you can already do what you need without revision.

There helps a own text file "__INFOs.txt" in the ffmpeg -folder a lot. (You can even use a second button to open that TXT every time its need)

Also you can copy an whole button as text description and save it to a text file.

I don’t quite understand. I’m new to ffmpeg. Can you give me a case? Thank you.

In this way, if there are ten different conversions, I need to write ten different commands and parameters. I don’t know if this is the right way to understand it. Can you give me a case to understand it? thank you

Yes, for DirMenu you will have to write several em_ commands. Is this a problem for you?
For a button menu, one em_ command with %A would be enough.
If you want to select options in the dialog, use AskParam.
