A. You can find the Command-Line-Converting Tool: CMDCT.exe in your GraphicsConverterPro's folder.

It's easy to use for command line conversion or batch file conversion.

1)Single Conversion:
CMDCT [-O] File1, File2

File1: the import file, i.e. c:\windows\abc.gif or d:\myfolder\123.tif
It may be in following formats: BMP, DIB, EMF, GIF, ICB, ICO, JPG, JPEG, PBM, PCD, PCX, PGM, PNG, PPM, PSD, PSP, RLE, SGI, TGA, TIF, TIFF, VDA, VST, WBMP and WMF.

File2: the export file, i.e. c:\myfiles\xyz.jpg or e:\pic\987.wmf
It may be in following formats: BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG ,WBMP, EMF, TGA, TIF, WMF and ICO.

-O :If this option is placed, CMDCT will automatically overwrite the existed file which has a same name as File2.

2)Batch Conversion:
CMDCT [-O] sPath\*.*, tPath\*.tFormat
CMDCT [-O] sPath\*.sFormat, tPath\*.tFormat

For example:
a) CMDCT c:\mypath1\*.*, d:\mypath2\*.bmp
All picture files in mypath1 will be converted to bmp files and saved into mypath2.
b) CMDCT c:\mypath1\*.jpg, d:\mypath2\*.emf
All JPG files in mypath1 will be converted to EMF files and saved into mypath2.

Notes: The sFormat may be in following formats: BMP, DIB, EMF, GIF, ICB, ICO, JPG, JPEG, PBM, PCD, PCX, PGM, PNG, PPM, PSD, PSP, RLE, SGI, TGA, TIF, TIFF, VDA, VST, WBMP and WMF.
The tFormat may be in following formats: BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG ,WBMP, EMF, TGA, TIF, WMF and ICO.

3)Conversion by a batch file:

For example:
CMDCT File11, File21
CMDCT File12, File22
CMDCT -o File13, File23
CMDCT -o File14, File24
...
Step 3:
Save the batch file;
Step 4:
Run the batch file to start your conversions.
