New tool, interest.

Post by *JackFoo »

Hi,
I was thinking of writing a new tool to do the following:
Run a specified command with each file name from the list while the calls are synchronous.

For example running a CPU intensive task for each file passed by TC, like encoding or decoding etc...
This can be easily done by a batch file such as:
--batch
tomp3.exe file1.wav
tomp3.exe file2.wav
etc.
But I'm quite lazy when it comes to creating these batch commands (even using Christian's batch creator). So in this program you'll select the files press the button and it'll do the calls.

Any interest?

Cheers.

Batch creator: select files run batch creator, type the name of the program and parameter, run batch;
Possible program: select files press button.

I'm lazzy...

Cheers.

Well, almost but not quite, lst2multi does call the program but it doesn't wait for the process to finish before starting another. Please read the explanation it states that the calls are synchronous (it's done for CPU intensive tasks)

Cheers.

What is "Christian's batch creator" and where does one find it?
