Re: [MMM] Batch Conversion Utility for Converting .SCL to .TUN

I'm not sure if this was a waste of time, since Scala
can also easily do that :-)
Like this:

set pause off
set synth 112
iterate "send/file %scl(.tun)" *.scl

Ahem, well... "easy" is a tricky word, no? I wouldn't be surprised if there are many a person these days that is not familiar with command line computing, and especially the ability to look at a list of commands and 'parse' the plethora of options into a solution as elegant as the one you show.

Maybe you could highlight the abilities of the command facility to users, and encourage users to share .cmd files that do particular tasks. Maybe a section of the menu drop-downs, similar to a section of 'macros', that could list selected tasks a user might want to do.

In any event, am I correct in assuming the above 3 lines of 'code' could be saved as a .cmd file and run in that way?

Cheers,

Jon,

Yes, once you know how to do it it's easy :-)
There's a tip in tips.par that mentions this possibility.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, I could provide it in the setup too, hadn't thought of that.
