    After conversion

    In the Power Pack of Music Converter it allows you to call an application and in the help file it suggests you can pass a parameter. However, does this work for "After all conversions ends"?

    I am trying to pass the newly created directory to another application so that when it opens it is pointing to this location. Again the help file suggests I should use the format "c:\some directory\program.exe" [OutFile]

    Is it possible to do what I am trying to do?

    >newly created directory

    Only the filename (which includes the directory) can be passed.

      Okay, got it. So therefore that only works with "after each file conversion" and [OutPut] file? If this is the case I guess I could echo them into a text file and then run another batc file after complete conversion to grab the directory element and pass it to the application I want to start?

        Yes, the after all conversions cannot have any dynamic [output] type information passed.

          Spoon can you just tell me the output format for after each conversion?

          I am just trying to pass the output to a batch file to echo the variable. If I just call the batch file alone i fires. I have tried:

          c:\test.bat [OutFile]
          "c:\test.bat" [OutFile]
          "c:\test.bat"[OutFile]
          c:\test.bat [OutFileShort]
          "c:\test.bat" [OutFileShort]
          "c:\test.bat"[OutFileShort]

            I believe this worked for someone else:
            Make this the path: "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /K c:\test.bat"
            Then try various incarnations of [OutFile]
