Converting files

Post by dan113 »

I have an exe file that converts .dxf/.dwg files to .GEO files, i have started to make the process mostly automated. I have set a directory watcher plugin to watch a folder and when i drop a file into there it starts the program. But here is the problem how do i get it to convert the file/files i drop in to the folder? what do i put into the command line box on run program? or is this going to need a python script? my conversion software is called trutops convert, and there are a few different setting in the conversion window. The output folder is the same as the input and will hopefully be controlled by belvedere.

This needs a Python script. I think you can find some related threads on this forum where you find some inspiration, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2267&hilit=torrent
