To preserve the original SageTV properties file and copy it to the output folder along with the converted file (keeping the same name), follow this process:
**Step 1:**
> Open profiles.conf and in the profile section that you are using, copy the following lines to the end of the profile:
>
> ```auto
> PostCustomCommandPath=C:\mcebuddy\copyassets.bat
> PostCustomCommandParameters=""%sourcefile%" "%convertedfile%" "%destinationpath%""
> PostCustomCommandHangPeriod=300
> PostCustomCommandCritical=false
> PostCustomCommandUISession=false
> PostCustomCommandShowWindow=false
>
> ```
**Step 2:**
> Create/[download](http://www.mcebuddy2x.com/MCEBUDDY/SHARED_INFORMATION/Sage%20TV/CopyAssets.bat) a file `c:\mcebuddy\copyassets.bat` and add the following line to it:
>
> ```auto
> copy "%~f1.properties" "%~f2.properties"
>
> ```
>
> Save it and now you’re done.
MCEBuddy should copy the original properties file along with the converted file after renaming it to converted filename with `.properties` extension
_ **UPDATE** _: This is redundant as MCEBuddy now does this automatically when it finds a `.properties` file along with the source file
