Rename a file after encoding from a different program is done

[sparuj]

Greetings,

I'm currently encoding my clips and I have a folder for the encoding process called "in_progress". My question is, is there a way to move the file to a different folder "complete" after the encoding process from HandBrake is complete?

I'm guessing that there should be a script that constrantly checks if the file is not in use and after it's not in use anymore to move it to the "complete" folder. I would appreciate any tips or advice on how to do that.

Cheers!

Please excsue me for the title mistake. I meant "Move to another folder", not rename.

Okay... I've found a way to do that too. Please excuse me for spaming like this, but it seems that I don't have the options to delete or edit my comments.

Have you considered the “Send File To” option of handbrake?

It gets triggered on completion and should be enough to let you execute a command/script to move the file.

Thank you for the advice, but I've found a way around it. Really appreciate your time in order to help me.

Interesting.
So you are going to poll/look for the handbrake process to end before moving your file(s)?

If it’s like that you could maybe just RunWait the handbrake process yourself (from your own script) and then move the file after it completes.  Might be a little cleaner.

Good luck!
