Checkbox for show WinAMP Format Converter Configuration
« on: March 17, 2019, 07:20:05 PM »
Hello! :)

Could your put again the checkbox in the configuration window of the format converter to choose whether the window show or not when to send tracks to the converter?

It is very useful if you don't want convert always to the same format and want to change the format.

Thanks for your wonderful work! ^.^

I thought I'd gotten away with not having to replicate that as no one has mentioned it over the past few years :)

I'll come up with something (probably not for the next build with my current rate of progress) as I'd intentionally tried to do things differently to what came before (hence the window & proper prefs page) but was waiting to see if there was a demand for the prompt mode or not. My initial thought is when the converter window is opened then you'll get the prompt since that's treated as the start of a batch event as iirc the old plug-in would do it on any action which was more confusing.

I didn't want to complain *cough* but yeah this ^
I tend to forget what codec I was last using so seeing it just before the encoding is done is very handy.

Would it also be helpful to have something on the window (probably as a status area) that once the dialog is closed tries to indicate the current mode being used. As even with the X->Y column, it's not as clear to know if it's a quality level 1 or a level 9 or whatever. Seem reasonable or just a waste of ui space ?
