How to prevent folder creation?

I can't get this program to not create a folder of it's own. When I tell it where to put the conversion, it creates a folder then puts the file in there. I don't want it doing that. I already have the check out of "Create folder with profile name in destination path.

I also prefare that no folder is created. I think the idea of producing a folder is because of the temp. conversion file *.muxcache.
However, if this is the reason the *.muxcache temp file could be hidden untill the conversion is canceled or finished.

Yeah the whole purpose of putting a file where you want it is to have it where you want it, not to have it inside an additional folder that was not wanted. Should be an easy fix.

Ok you won...

I will add the possibility to use the output folder without adding any extra path in next version.
I thought that adding project name and/or video format in path was usefull but it seems some users want to have all their files in same location.

Thank you Coral!

I try to take into account all users requests because if they take the time to write a post I think I must take the time to fix problems /add feature requests...

Regards,

Hello Cedric,

Thank you very much for:
- 0006899: [Feature Request] Add the possibility to convert all files in same output folder.

I wonder if you can oblige further. Is it possible that instead of the warning "Destination folder needs to be cleared ........." You would allow the user to choose between overwriting the file or add new file with the same name ? The new file will contain an added number such as My Movie.mpg, My Movie 01.mpg.... and so on.
