I'm so free and hijack this thread about the padding size in FLAC files, and want to give thanks to Lupercus for his batch file using the commandline tool "metaflac.exe", which I have used as a template.
I wrote an extended version of the batch file, see attachment.
REM ================================================================================
REM Purpose: Change the padding size within all FLAC files in the given folder .
REM The given folder path name can be dropped onto this batch file ...
REM ... or can be set as the first parameter on the command line.
REM This CMD script is an extended version of the CMD script from Mp3tag user "Lupercus, Sep 5 2009, 13:52" .
REM Detlev Dalitz.20140106.
REM ================================================================================
REM Define the fully qualified path to the file "metaflac.exe".
SET METAFLAC="P:\Programs\FLAC\metaflac.exe"
REM Define the padding default size in Bytes.
REM The pad size is allowed to be an integer value in the range from 0 to 16777215.
SET PADSIZE_DEFAULT=2000

Note:
This cmd script makes use of "delayed variable expansion".
To use delayed variable expansion it must be enabled.
This can be done using CMD /V:ON /C to start the batch file, ...
or better insert the code line ...
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
... inside the batch file.
To make it permanently ...
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
