Sounds like you learned Earth Science from Homer Simpson.

This appeases lame - but not the OS!
The system itself has a lot of trouble communicating with those files. You can't change their filenames, you can't copy them directly (but you can copy the directory...)
It's an incredibly serious bug in Windows - not the first nor the only in the filenames category (codepage problems...)
So, contrary to what I suggested, the 'MS - DOS' should not be integrated to the to the main product, nor - in fact - should it be suggested to users without warning.. It's not the solution's fault, but microsoft's bug, of course.
I suggest that the information about the problem be included in the REACT: Using Short Filenames wiki entry.

Hmmm.... very true.  Guess the best idea is to go with shorter paths.

Having a hard time getting REACT to generate flac images.  I do a clean install, then hit F10, and I get a cue file and a .wav, but no flac.  Setting debug=1, it looks like REACT is using the wrong filenames to refer to the cue sheet & log. 

Here's my steps:
1. Clean install of EAC 0.99pb1

I started using React 2 today [the latest mod, to be exact].  However, I have run into a few issues.  I'm hoping someone here can help me figure them out...

1. EAC Log file does not get copied to either my flac image output directory or the lame mp3 track directory.

2. The album art in the flac image folder gets named like this: %artist% - %album%.  I'd prefer if it was just folder.jpg like my mp3 track output folder.

Thanks,
Matt

Pretty sure you can change the album art naming in the ini file in the section UserOutputNames. Look for ImageDir for each file type (FLAC and MP3, which in your case sound like they will be different). Not 100% sure this is the solution, but if you post your ini here it will be more helpful in being able to see what is happening. There is also an option to embed the album art within the tag file.

For  the log file - I think this gets specified in EAC - again could be  wrong, but check the destination directory set in EAC for log files and  see if they are there.

Are you definately using 2.0.ssb15?  It sounds like you are using an earlier version - the log file was sorted in b12 and image art in b13.  When you open REACT the running version should be displayed in EAC's title bar.  Out of interest, what version of EAC as well please?

For the log file - I think this gets specified in EAC - again could be wrong, but check the destination directory set in EAC for log files and see if they are there.

I have V2.0.ssb15 in the titlebar and the EAC about dialog says version v0.99 prebeta 1.

Edit: Actually, it may be worth you skimming the metamp3 thread, and trying the beta linked to in that thread.  It is possible that the beta handles other codepages better, but the answer would be in the thread.

SET imageDir=%imageDir%\Disc @discnumber@
SET trackDir=%trackDir%\Disc @discnumber@

SET imageDir=%imageDir%\Disc @discnumber@ of @totaldiscs@
SET trackDir=%trackDir%\Disc @discnumber@ of @totaldiscs@

The following wiki article details the process necessary:

REACT:Adding Support For Disc Information

The article uses the simple format "Disc @discnumber@" - appending that to the standard path if @totaldiscs@ is greater than one.

You should just be able to follow the article, and change lines like:

Code: [Select]

SET imageDir=%imageDir%\Disc @discnumber@
SET trackDir=%trackDir%\Disc @discnumber@

...to:

Code: [Select]

SET imageDir=%imageDir%\Disc @discnumber@ of @totaldiscs@
SET trackDir=%trackDir%\Disc @discnumber@ of @totaldiscs@

I figured out when it's happening - when the disc is ejected, the metadata dialog resets and the encoding programs lose track of it.  I'm going to try turning off disc eject and see what happens.

I will need to resolve this somehow.  Thanks for the report.

tested ssb16, ripping to tracks. No changes in configuration - ripped the wav files and then didn't run the conversions to flac and mp3...  falling back to the ssb15 with no ejection strategy.

I'm confused, because b16 works fine on my Win2K PC, and XP laptop; however deltadave has said that b16 is not processing his WAVE files, so it may well be worth a try.
