Custom output directory for Exporting via Chain?
I have a chain with three commands, the last one is ExportFlac. There doesn't seem to be a way to specify an output folder. It automatically saves to the original folder in a new subfolder called "cleaned." This is okay, but I was wondering if anyone knows a way to change this. I looked in Preferences but didn't see anything. I also tried editing the chain's text file by inserting the desired directory after "ExportFlac:"but that didn't work.

Re: Custom output directory for Exporting via Chain?
A custom directory is a feature request. I'll add your vote.
You can change it if you learn C++, change the code and recompile Audacity.

Sure, I'll vote for that. It's fine the way it is, but it would be handy to have custom directories also.
