Add toggle for incomplete file naming scheme
Feature details
Please add an option to go back to having the "part" be the extension. I was dependent on this in my workflow to exclude incomplete files from being renamed/imported into my library. While here, it might be helpful to allow the user to choose what word should represent incomplete encodes and whether that's in the extension, or prepend, append to the filename.
You should still be able to do it since the ".part." is still in the file name. I changed to have the video extension to let people easily play incomplete files.
In the app I wrote, I have already updated this, but my library management tool of choice doesn't have the option to ignore import files based on part of a file name; only based on extension. It no longer allows me to do partial imports of only the files that are complete, it tries to import the incomplete files. Personally, I never had a problem with right-clicking and choosing open with the way it used to be if I wanted to preview the file before it was done, however, I do see how some people would prefer it this way. I prefer it the old way, so I figure a settings toggle would satisfy both sets people; even if you leave it defaulted to the new way. Needless to say VidCoder is a vital part of my video processing workflow, but it is a link in the chain and this change required me to have more manual intervention.
