Hi there all and Michael,

I am using windows 7 64 bit now and tried to use the Batch Convert utility that you had tailored for me. I'm having trouble getting windows to pass the command along to the Moi app. Seems to think the shortcut that I setup is a JS file. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks

John

Hi John, what exactly do you have for the shortcut that launches everything up?

One thing to check is that you'll probably need to surround different parts with double quotes to tell windows which part is the program to launch and which part is the parameters to the program. Otherwise when things have spaces in them it can get confused.

For example if you have a shortcut something like this:
code:
C:\Program Files\MoI 1.0\MoI.exe c:\some folder\convert.js


That's probably going to get confused. Put " " around the different parts like this:

code:
"C:\Program Files\MoI 1.0\MoI.exe"  "c:\some folder\convert.js"


That may be what you are running into - but if not please let me know some more details of what you have in your shortcut and I'll try to figure it out.

- Michael
