Creating backups and automatically deleting source files
If you want the program to create backups of any files that would othe r-
wise be overwritten as a result of the procedure, activate the “Create
backups” options. When this is activated, the program will make a copy of
the file before processing. It will also change the first letter in the exten-
sion of the copy to “~”. For example “myfile.wav” will be backed up as
“myfile.~av”.
This only applies if you have used the variable “Source Path”, as described
above, to specify that the file should be overwritten with the same name.
If you are not absolutely sure of what you are doing, we strongly rec-
omm
end that you leave this option activated, to avoid accidentally overwrit-
ing files.
If you want the program to delete the original (unprocessed) files after
processing activate “Delete files after process”.
Be careful with this option! If the processing didn’t turn out as expected,
you can’t redo it, because you won’t have any files left to re-process!
