[SOLVED] A question of workflow part 3 - Foobar2000 and LM

Post by Peter Linu »

Hiyall,
I've progressed quite well in automating my process. see attached:
Screenshot foobar2folder.jpeg
I drag n drop a folder from left to foobar on right side. Conversion used to be ~13 mouse clicks and is now one kbd click. This results in the left folder now containing both the original flacs and the converted mp3s (as well as artwork).

Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut that deletes everything EXCEPT the mp3s and the artwork? Preferably so I can integrate it with the existing Foobar shortcut.

Some time later...
I discovered that the original files remain highlighted in the original left side folder so it's easy enough to simply click 'delete' to remove them. Whether this was something that was set up by Foobar or simply a fortunate accident, it works.
If I find a more logical and permanent solution, I add it here.
