I built this tool by request of a few people that use AutoGK. Perhaps this functionality will be included in future AutoGK versions, but until then, here is what you guys asked for.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
This program automatically produces a properly formatted AVI filename from the selected Input Directory name, then adds it to the job queue, simply by hitting the ` key (unshifted tilde key [~]).
* Before pressing the ` key, be sure to select your Input Directory and all your encoding options.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the main functions of this program:
1. If the Input Directory name contains "VIDEO_TS" or "EPISODE", it then looks at the parent directory name to get the output filename. Only on select occasions will it still prompt you for a filename, such as, if the parent directory name is "DVD_VIDEO".
2. Once it has the name, it then properly formats it. Example: "THIS_IS_A_HOME_MOVIE" becomes "This Is A Home Movie.avi".
3. If it finds that the file already exists in the destination directory, or in the job queue, it will append an incremental number to the end of the filename. Example: If "This Is A Home Movie.avi" exists, the next one it adds will be "This Is A Home Movie-2.avi". I added this feature to help process multiple rip VOB's acquired from same source, or processing the same VOB with different settings.
4. Once it does all the above, it then adds the file to the Job Queue automatically.
5. If you run this program before starting AutoGK, it will automatically start AutoGK. If you close AutoGK first, this program will exit.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Function Keys:
` - Automatically detects the Output filename from the Input Directory name, then adds it to the job queue (Remember to select encoding options first)
~ - Opens the Select Destination Directory Dialog Box
CTRL+DELETE - Deletes ALL non-essential files from the destination directory once encoding is completed (*_agk.log & agk_temp directory) * Only use this AFTER AutoGK has completed processing ALL files in the job queue!!!!
ESCAPE - Exits this helper program
F1 - Displays the help MsgBox
------------------------------------------------------------------
This was designed and tested on WindowsXP with AutoGK v1.95 to 2.09b. If you have any problems or questions, please let me know.
This helper application is self contained. No DLL's or hooks into anything. It does write one registry key to keep track of the selected destination folder, but that is all. Of course it does need AutoGK to be installed to do anything. :)
