Can't save convert stream

Hello!

There is no saving function at the window of convert processing. There are only buttons "Pause" and "Abort".
Therefore, i can't save the convert of the stream, for example stream radio (see attached pic and txt)
Selecting these two buttons doesn't save the record to file.
Is it possible to record a stream? or is it an opportunity to improve?
I suggest add a button "Save" or "Done" in window of convert process, for to stop convert when needed and save the record.

Thanks.

"Abort" will save file if you enable option "Leave partial files for aborted or failed conversions" in section "Other" of Converter's settings.

But to save quality and not bloat file size it is better to record stream without re-encoding. It is not possible with fb2k's converter, but can be done with ffmpeg.

You can also record/save the radio stream without re-encoding by using Streamripper with the foo_run plugin, for MP3, OGG, AAC, and AAC+ streams.  See this post for how-to:

For OPUS or FLAC streams, use what Rollin has suggested with the encoder of your choice.  WAV (your pic) is pretty brutal on space!
