Title: cuetools and cueripper encoders path and settings question
Post by: francesco on 2022-12-03 15:13:43
Hi
in cuetools I have added many encoders and settings, i have created a folder inside called encoders and i have lots of encoders , added patch and option

but cueripper doesn't see such options and folders , i have read in the forum to copy for example lame inside the cueripper folder or qaac

can i ask 2 questions?
1) should I have to copy all the encoder inside the cueripper root folder (flac , mp3 , qaac , opus and so on)?
2) why doesn't cueripper see the cuetools settings ? I have never understood

thanks

CUETools settings folder is \CUE Tools
CUERipper settings folder is \CUERipper (however CUERipper uses the \MetadataCache folder in \CUE Tools)
If running normally the settings folders are in %APPDATA% or if running portable they're in the \CUETools #.#.# folder.

encoders
You can add the full path to each external encoder (example: C:\Program\filename.EXE). You have to do this in CUETools and CUERipper separately.
or add the folder containing your encoders to the system's %PATH% environment
or copy the EXE file(s) to the \CUETools #.#.# folder.

Hi @korth
CueTools does not support multi cpu encoding  ,does it ?
I guess i'm a fool , i have to edit full patch clicking the preferences close to the CueRipper Encoder , in the screenshot ,right?
thanks

I'll leave the the first question for @c72578
I only know FLACCL can use more than one CPU thread.

The second question, yes.

You can skip the full path for each external encoder if you put the encoder EXE's in the root folder of CUETools where cuetools.exe and cueripper.exe is located. But you still need to configure each encoder individually for both tools & ripper.
