Add the ability to run scripts after encoding finishes....

Post by ssj2_goha »

I t would be nice to be able to set up that after an encode is finished we have the option to run an automator or apple script. I have a weird problem where files self destruct after I encode them... and i found if I make a copy of the file in a separate directory They don't self destruct. So I wrote a script to automatically copy the files to said "backup" directory, but my iMac encodes files 24/7 so I'm not always at my computer to do said backup..... Thus the ability to run the script would be nice.

Self destruct mechanisim . . . that is some seriously badass DRM.

In other news, you should be able to set up a folder action to do this, right?
