Topic: shntool conv Module - help

[gdplusmore]

 I am experimenting converting some of my masters which I did in shn to flac and would like to use shntool conv module,
so far it seems to work well with the below command. 

shntool conv -o cust ext=flac '{' flac -8 -o %%f - '}' *.shn 

Shn File  =  Bennett Harris Solo 8-15-08d1t01.shn

Result    =  %Bennett Harris Solo 8-15-08d1t01.flac

My question is what is causing the % to append to the beginning of the file name ?  And can it be eliminated ?

Thanks

Looks like it's having "%%f" rather than "%f" in your output string.

But why not use: shntool conv -o flac *.shn for all files in a folder?

he can do a flac level 8 with shntool's custom output format.
