When your source file follows a certain formatting pattern, HB prefixes the output file name with "output_". (That's a rather dumb idea, because your source file and output file won't be near each other in your file manager, making the output file harder to find. But that's a different issue.)
In prior versions, HB will let you change the output file name without interference. Procedure like this was possible:
- remove "output_" prefix
- add " output" suffix
- Click Start of Add to Queue
New behavior in 1.2.2 is if you remove the "output_" prefix from the file name, HB blows away everything in the Save As field (file name, destination path, everything).
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
- set output Default Path to {source_path}
- set output File Format to {source}
- format file name in start case
- drag file and drop on HB
- remove "output_" prefix from file name
- click OK
