Batch Conversion to PDF

• Aug 22, 2020 - 17:02

Per Flavius suggestion, I downloaded the batch conversion file, unzipped it, placed it in Program Files Plug-in directory and installed it in the Plug In Manager. It works great when you want the converted PDF's loaded back into the source directory (the default), but the program freezes when you select an alternate target directory. For large numbers of files, this creates the burden of having to select every other file in the source directory to move them into a new directory.

Does anyone have a solution to fix this; that is to permit successful loading into a new directory?

Mike, I don't understand your suggestion. My large directory has 415 songs, listed in alphabetic order. Since the converter labels the pdf files the same as the mscz files except for the file type portion, the new pdf files will get placed next to their .mscz version.

After the conversion, use your file manager program and sort the files by file type. This will put the .mscz files all together and all of the .pdf files together. You can then select several consecutive files (in windows click one then shift+click the last one) you can then move them to the new directory all at once either by dragging or cutting and pasting. If you do 450 files at once it'll take a minute or two, but windows would handle this fine.

Sorry, I meant the Program Files (x86) directory. Yes, just doing nothing. The plug-in seems to start the conversion only after selecting the source file. When a new directory is selected as the target, the program stops after selecting the target directory. It seems to me that the program should ask for the source, then ask for the target and then on a new screen have a button for starting the conversion.
