command-line encoder folder

some small (maybe stupid) question.

- i use the portable version of foobar
- in the main folder, i have one folder called "encoder" with lame, flac.... exe

in the previous version of foobar, i just used "encoder" as command line in the converter preferences.
this was nice, cause if i copied this foobar version to a different computer, i didn't had to re-fresh the paths to the encoder files.

in version 1.0 this is not working any more. no idea why.
i have to give the full path C:\...\Desktop\foobar2000\encoder

any suggestions?
thank you very much!

i just dump my encoders in the root folder along with foobar itself. then it works without any messing about.

in version 1.0? what command line do you use then?

edit: ahhh, i see. you are right, it works. mhhh. not really a great organisation but whatever... thank you!

foo_exvar activates %foobar_path% as a global variable pointing to Foobar2000 directory.

Thus, instead of C:\Program Files\Foobar2000\Encoder, use variable path %foobar_path%\Encoder in portable version.

you're right .. should've tested before posting. it doesn't seem to be working in 1.0

.mpc and ogg doesn't even work in foobar2000 root folder.(1.02.beta 1 portable)
I think it's because there are two possible encoder filenames and foobar wants to know
which one it should pick. Others work without problems.

I would also love to know how to tell foobar to look into the root folder for files...
%foobar_path% would be nice as a global variable.

Any opinions?

still no updates? this problem (since 1.0) makes my foobar2000 not portable anymore

Resurrecting. Would be nice to have a variable showing foobar's path similarly to the %_foobar2000_version% already present. Or just traverse all dirs within the .exe directory and try to find the encoder .exes

foobar2000 automatically supports converter binaries placed in "encoders" directory.

I guess it doesn't see mine because I have subfolders in there (encoders\flac 1.3.0\flac.exe, etc)?
