Bug Description
I want to start the conversion of sound files to mp3 from a bash script, so I created a profile named 'mp3', and tried to run soundkonverter from the command line with:
soundkonverter --profile mp3 --autostart *.flac
Here's the directory where I ran the command from:
paulo@monk:
01 - Nardis.flac 03 - Tern.flac 05 - Freebop.flac 07 - Jamaica stopover.flac 09 - Blue in green.flac scans
02 - Zingaro.flac 04 - Goodbye.flac 06 - All that's left.flac 08 - Snowfall.flac 10 - Love walked in.flac
soundkonverter gets stuck in the profile selection screen (see attached file 'Finished - soundKonverter_
Here's my ~/.kde/
<!DOCTYPE soundkonverter_
<soundkonverter type="profilelist">
<conversionOptions profile="User defined" profileName="mp3" pluginName="lame" codecName="mp3">
<encodingOptions qualityMode="0" bitrate="160" compressionLeve
<data presetFast="0" presetBitrate="192" presetBitrateCb
</encodingOpt
<outputOptions outputFilesystem="" outputDirectory
<features replaygain="0"/>
</conversionOp
<conversionOptions profile="User defined" profileName=

Reading bug #688986, which dealt with the same problem I'm facing, but which was closed as 'Invalid', I tried another experiment:
1. Created profile 'mp3 extreme' (excerpt from ~/.kde/ share/apps/ soundkonverter/ profiles. xml):
<conversionOptions profile="User defined" profileName="mp3 extreme" pluginName="lame" codecName="mp3"> l="2" bitrateMode="0" quality="5" cmdArguments= "--id3v2- only"> r="0" preset="2"/> ions> Mode="1" outputDirectory =""/> tions>
<encodingOptions qualityMode="0" bitrate="160" compressionLeve
<data presetFast="0" presetBitrate="192" presetBitrateCb
</encodingOpt
<outputOptions outputFilesystem="" outputDirectory
<features replaygain="0"/>
</conversionOp
2. Run soundkonverter from the command line, specifying --profile, --format and --output, even though it didn't make sense to me having to specify --format and --output since the profile already has this information:
paulo@monk: ~/stage/ bin$ soundkonverter --profile 'mp3 extreme' --format mp3 --output ~/stage/edit/ --autostart ~/stage/ edit/CoplanTown er-song_ flac/MARC\ COPLAND\ \&\ RALPH\ TOWNER\ -\ Song\ Without\ End\ \(1994\ ).flac/ *.flac
The results couldn't be weirder: the conversion was done automatically as expected, but the files were converted to ogg, even though both --profile and --format specify mp3.
