Was about to ask the same myself. The update function didn't remove them earlier.

All files in the QTfiles folder got renamed to *.backup after the latest qaac update

2597 [QAAC]                 do not delete portable dll files during update
2596 [DGIndexIM/NV]         improved error handling
2595 [DGIndexIM/NV]         fixed crash when the indexer directory is not available (regression of 2585)

Zathor,
MeGUI 2598 is deleting the SelectedProfiles.xml file when it runs (or when it closes) and as a result, the selected profiles function is broken. Edit: I tried copying SelectedProfiles.backup and renaming it to SelectedProfiles.html and the html file isn't being deleted when MeGUI starts any longer, but MeGUI seems to be ignoring it anyway. Something odd is going on there.

Creating backups for all the profiles, that's new isn't it? Is there a reason for doing so? (I'm just curious)

I'll upload my OneClick profiles for you shortly.

Cheers.

Seems the change to not delete the portable files when updating QAAC isn't working as expected. MeGUI is isn't deleting them, but it's changing their file extensions to "backup".

Feature request:

Could we have an option for MeGUI not to delete old files, such as old log files? The latter certainly took me by surprise after the last update. It also annoyed me a bit. I sometimes search through old log files to help me remember what filtering I might have used for a particular encode, or what the source file was etc, and up until a few minutes ago I could use the Windows search function to quickly search through three or fours years worth of log files. Now it only goes back a few months.....
"Fortunately" my second PC had a hard drive failure a few days ago, so I copied the MeGUI folder from this PC to the other one and I now know to at least backup those log files before updating MeGUI there.
And those old files in the update_cache folder marked as obsolete..... I backed that folder up as soon as a saw it happen, but what should I expect there? I assume at some stage MeGUI will delete them all without asking?

Thanks.

I created two new profiles, as mine use my own encoder configurations, so they'd probably give you errors when you try to load them. These OneClick profiles use "scratchpad" encoder and avisynth presets, but the oddness hasn't changed.

I need to test it with backup enabled.
EDIT: works as expected. are you sure qaac has been updated with build 2598? Or which portable files do you use?

Mhm, I can merge this option with the backup option. So if backup is disabled it will delete the files, if not they stay.

The file extension is xml
I found the problem and have fixed it locally.

Yes, if the new xml file cannot be created the backup will be restored. But as this will be done in one step I should delete the backup files at the end.

I wrote xml the first time, but now I can't remember whether I renamed it xml or html for testing. Oh well.... you've found the problem anyway.

Thanks.

With latest version (2598), every time I launch the program, my default video profile always changes to x264: Android G1, instead of the one i always use. This did'nt happen with previous versions...

Awesome! I haven't downloaded the update yet, but thanks!

So the OneClick DAR button problem..... I wasn't imagining it? What was the cause?

Cheers.

Today I updated MeGUI. Development Servers.
and faced a thing that I never faced yesterday. Not sure whether the reason is the updating it or something else changed in the system.

FFAudioSource failed to open a MKV file, that was opened successfully before updating.
It gives this message in the Log.

Code:
 
Failed opening the file with FFAudioSource(). Script error: There is no function named 'HelpMeRondaLoadPlugin'.
NicAudio, LWLibavAudioSource used for AC-3, LWLibavAudioSource used for MKV as FFAudioSource fails.

Any idea why, and how to fix!

:/

Sorry, I missed your question earlier.
Yes, I'm sure QAAC was updated. It went through the "build 2598 is required" process on both PCs and restarted MeGUI before then updating QAAC.

QAAC is in the "MeGUI\tools\qaac" folder.
The portable files are located in "MeGUI\tools\qaac\QTfiles"
QTfiles has a subfolder: "MeGUI\tools\qaac\QTfiles\Microsoft.VC80.CRT"

All the files in the "QTfiles" and "Microsoft.VC80.CRT" folders had backup added as their file extension.

At least it's not just me this time.

Sorry, silly remaining code in the sources. It is now fixed with build 2602 (online on one of the two servers as the other is currently not available)

I have all necessary files directly copied in the qaac directory without any subdirectories. Can you try that as well please? Btw I have used the recent makeportable script with the recent Itunes installer.

Could we get finer control of x264 qcomp? In 2525 you can manually enter it in the box and it will enter it into the commandline, but MeGUI rounds to tenths it for display which gives a display mismatch (if you entered 0.65 you can't just look at the qcomp box to see what you have entered since it's now saying 0.7.), and the arrows move it by tenths. Considering the rather large effect, movement by hundredths makes more sense than tenths, and it should certainly display to hundredths. Going from qcomp of 0.6 to 0.7 can increase file size in CRF encoding upwards of 25%, and 0.8 is pretty much always going to be complete bloat, so going by tenths basically only gives you the option of, "Do I want qcomp 0.60 or 0.70?"

I tried that and some of the files had the extension backup added and some didn't. Here's a list of the extracted Apple files before re-installing QAAC:

From the QTfiles folder
ASL.dll
CoreAudioToolbox.dll
CoreFoundation.dll
icudt46.dll*
icuin40.dll*
icuuc40.dll*
libdispatch.dll
libicuin.dll
libicuuc.dll
objc.dll
pthreadVC2.dll*

From the Microsoft.VC80.CRT folder
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest*
msvcp80.dll*
msvcr80.dll*

After copying all the files to the qaac directory and re-installing QAAC, the files marked with an asterisk were given a backup extension. The others weren't (as opposed to when they were left in the sub-directories and they were all given a backup extension).

The four original QAAC files in the QAAC folder remained, with a backup copy also created. I guess that's to be expected.
libsoxconvolver.dll
libsoxr.dll
qaac.exe
refalac.exe

I used makeportable and the QuickTime installer to extract the required files. I'm pretty sure it was makeportable 0.9 and QuickTime 7.7.7, but to be sure I downloaded them both again (QuickTime 7.7.8) and ran makeportable. Exactly the same files were extracted (still CoreAudioToolbox 7.9.8.3), just with more recent modified dates.
You're not using an old makeportable or QuickTime installer are you? I'm pretty sure the files extracted changed at some stage, but that was a fair while ago. Or does it extract different files for XP....

Cheers.

Hey, updated to 2602.
Now a different error message...
Code:
 
Failed opening the file with FFAudioSource(). I don't know what 'xxxx' means.
