feature request: skip already converted

[quantum-booty]

I'm in the process of converting a big library, since there is no way of tracking whats already converted, when flacon crashes I would have to either manually check which album is not converted, or do the convertion one folder at a time, which is obviously not ideal. So It would be nice if flacon can scan whats already converted, or to save progress in case of a crash, so to avoid starting over again!

Sorry for the long silence. I didn't see a notification about your issue maybe Google marked the email as a spam.

That sounds reasonable. I will add such an option to the settings and command line argument.

Right now, you can use debug mode for automation. Run the program like this

./Flacon --debug -s ../tests/short.cue 2>&1 | grep "Track done:"
Track done:  id= 1  Track { trackNum: 0 trackCount:4 diskId:"12345678" Artist:"Test for flacon" Album:"Short file" Title:"(HTOA)" cueFile:"/Users/sokoloff/myPrograms/flacon/tests/short.cue"} outFileName: "/Users/sokoloff/Music2/Test for flacon/2011 - Short file/tmp.iUfKHL/pregap-0001.encoded.flac"
Track done:  id= 2  Track { trackNum: 1 trackCount:4 diskId:"12345678" Artist:"Test for flacon" Album:"Short file" Title:"Short track 1" cueFile:"/Users/sokoloff/myPrograms/flacon/tests/short.cue"} outFileName: "/Users/sokoloff/Music2/Test for flacon/2011 - Short file/tmp.iUfKHL/track-0001_01.encoded.flac"
Track done:  id= 3  Track { trackNum: 2 trackCount:4 diskId:"12345678" Artist:"Test for flacon" Album:"Short file" Title:"Short track 2" cueFile:"/Users/sokoloff/myPrograms/flacon/tests/short.cue"} outFileName: "/Users/sokoloff/Music2/Test for flacon/2011 - Short file/tmp.iUfKHL/track-0001_02.encoded.flac"
Track done:  id= 4  Track { trackNum: 3 trackCount:4 diskId:"12345678" Artist:"Test for flacon" Album:"Short file" Title:"Short track 3" cueFile:"/Users/sokoloff/myPrograms/flacon/tests/short.cue"} outFileName: "/Users/sokoloff/Music2/Test for flacon/2011 - Short file/tmp.iUfKHL/track-0001_03.encoded.flac"
Track done:  id= 5  Track { trackNum: 4 trackCount:4 diskId:"12345678" Artist:"Test for flacon" Album:"Short file" Title:"Short track 4" cueFile:"/Users/sokoloff/myPrograms/flacon/tests/short.cue"} outFileName: "/Users/sokoloff/Music2/Test for flacon/2011 - Short file/tmp.iUfKHL/track-0001_04.encoded.flac"

Unfortunately, outFileName contains the name of the temporary file, but the track number is printed. It's better than nothing.

When I made the command line support, I did not expect that it would be actively used. I only did this for benchmarks.
I wonder how many people use the program from the command line? Please check here who uses the command line.

Let's discuss what can I add for automation, for example, I can output some information in a computer-readable format, for example as JSON line. What information do you need?
