[Feature Request] Command line option for output file name

Post by antimatter »

It would be very handy if makemkvcon would provide a command line option to specify the target file name, e.g. for saving a single title in mkv mode. From the available documentation, I do not see way to achieve this. I can only specify a destination folder and the program does some auto-naming.
Having this option would make it easier to automate further steps, because my automation thingy would not have to identify the newly created file first and rename it, etc.

Here's a proposal.

Code: Select all

makemkvcon mkv <source> <title_id> <dest_folder> -o "my_name.mkv" [-y]
This saves the titel in the destination folder and the mkv file is named "my_name.mkv". If you use '-o' it overrides the default naming scheme.

Code: Select all

-o, --output <filename>    Set output filename 
-y, --yes                  Overwrite existing file, else abort
Let me know what you think.
