Is there any way to keep ffmpeg.exe outside of the ffmpeg_batch folder? #98

When launched for the first time, FFBatch prompts you to either download ffmpeg, or open a location on your computer where you have it stored.

To my surprise, opening an existing location with ffmpeg.exe, creates a copy of it in the FFBatch folder.
Is there any way I can just specify and existing location outside the FFBatch folder and not have it copied in there?

For the moment ffmpeg.exe is always expected to be in the application folder, maybe in the future.

Got it! Thanks!

In any case, FFBatch is by far the best FFmpeg GUI (at least for my needs) that I've ever tried.
Thank you for creating and maintaining it!

add ffmpeg(shared not static) folder to your syspath
mklink yourpath\ffmpeg.exe ffbatch\ffmpeg.exe
OR
copy ffmpeg.exe(only the exe) to ffbatch's folder

This beta release allows ffmpeg.exe outside application path. It supports shared ffmpeg too.
