Hi all,
I have been discovering MeGUI recently and I use it more and more.

One thing I need to do regularly is encode a series of small clips to mp4. The clips are created always with the same name, so I have permanent AVS files loading theses clips that I can then load in MeGUI. I have set up a series of tasks in the queue to get all files encoded to mp4 with the desired settings and then sent them in a worker. I was all happy telling myself that next time I'll just reopen my worker and press start. Then I realize that when you clear the main queue, a worker will see the corresponding tasks removed as well.

Is there a way to "save" and "load" a queue, either in the main queue or in a worker or do I have to get used to the fact that I will need to leave this specific group of jobs permanently in the queue and be careful not to remove them?

Or maybe a similar tool can do that? I actually tried with TGMPEG but the rendered mp4, when played with JW player in a webpage won't start to play until the whole clip is loaded. The ones created with MeGUI are doing just fine.

Thanks for your help!

Not many queue management features at all ...

The best you can hope for is leaving the jobs in the queue and reseting them all with a right click ...

I see, just like I thought.
Well to bad, I'll get use to it.

Thanks for your comment!

Actually, after play a bit, you can just copy the \job\ folder back and forth ...

So load up the jobs, close MeGUI, copy the \job\ folder to a storage folder/archive ...

When wanting them back copy / un-archive the files back to \job\ and load MeGUI ...

Will save having to "reload" them in the case of accidental removal, etc ...
