BatchEncoder (Audio Conversion GUI)

[wisodev]

This is just insane! :) Thanks!

Thanks, automatic downloading is working great in CI builds, everyone can test now: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/wieslawsoltes/batchencoder/build/artifacts

I'll test it soon with 5k flac to qaac. :)

I have tested even with 500k, the memory consumption is high (due to using DOM xml parser), but after you load xml the program works very fast.

[wisodev]

No sure what would be upper limit of files in the list. Is 10k, 30k, 100k enough? It is possible to get better perf by switching to different xml parser but it would take some time.

Is 10k, 30k, 100k enough?
:) I think 100k as limit is more than enough "for now" :)
I transcoded 1k flac to m4a (qaac) within 50 mins with v3.1 without any issues!
Thanks for this amazing tool, Wieslaw!

I have question about OS support. Does supporting Windows XP makes sense?

The issue I have is with the Visual Studio tooling not supporting some features for XP platform toolkit (like code analysis).

[wisodev]

Managed to find solution, VS has fixed some issues when switching platform toolkit's, so Windows XP support will remain.

Thank you! I definitely need some rest :)

This was very big internal rewrite that gives better foundation for future improvements and planned features (and there a lot of them in the backlog (https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/BatchEncoder/milestones)).
