Hi,
flac --output-prefix='hi' someDir/file.wav
does not work. Accordingly, something like
flac --output-prefix='/absolute/path/to/output/' **/*.wav
also does not work, but would be a major use-case for me. What works is either omitting the --output-prefix option or cd to the dir of the input file(s).
The error message is:
file.WAV: ERROR initializing encoder
init_status = FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_INIT_STATUS_ENCODER_ERROR
state = FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_IO_ERROR
An error occurred opening the output file; it is likely that the output
directory does not exist or is not writable, the output file already exists and
is not writable, or the disk is full.
