Output File Naming for Parent Directory

Post by NasKar »

I'm using Handbrake on 1.07 on window 10. I would like to automatic create the file name from the parent directory. Is there a list of possible {strings} available somewhere that I could place in the file format field? I couldn't find it

Tools->Preferences->Output files, hover the mouse over the two boxes, and the valid strings appear in a window.

I use {source_folder_string} in the default path, and {source} in file format.

Thanks, I thought there would be more options.

They've pretty much covered the options you can get from the available information. And you can combine options for the file name.
