Dear Maintainer,

soundconverter had a problem on a specific file (it hung), that prevented it to
remove temporary files.
The problem is that these temporary files are created in the root of the file
system, and are not removed if I cancel the conversion or even if I close
soundconverter regularly.
Oh, these files should have been created in the directory of the original
files, I ticked the right option. They were not.

Yours,
nicolas patrois

Which files? Can you be more specific? Are you running soundconverter as
root?

Hi,

In fact, directories are created in the root directory, each directory
(artist-album) contains the converted mp3 files.

I’m running soundconverter as user, the file system is mounted
elsewhere, it’s not / of course.


Yours,
