Preserve original folder structure during batch conversion #809

Description

@Kalipigio

Hello,

First of all, thank you for developing fre:ac. It is a great audio converter and I really enjoy using it.

I would like to suggest a feature that I think would be useful for many users.

When converting multiple folders (for example, a music library organized as Artist/Album), fre:ac currently places all converted files in the output directory according to the selected filename pattern. There does not seem to be an option to preserve the original source folder structure.

It would be very helpful to have an option such as "Preserve source directory structure", so that converting:

Music/
├── Artist A/
│ ├── Album 1/
│ └── Album 2/
└── Artist B/
└── Album 3/

would automatically produce:

MP3/
├── Artist A/
│ ├── Album 1/
│ └── Album 2/
└── Artist B/
└── Album 3/

This would make batch conversions much easier for users with large, well-organized music libraries while keeping the current filename pattern options available.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!
