Work with files


LatLongConverter works with text files only. The basic idea is to open choose one or many file(s) and select a tool from the Converter menu.

The file(s) can be choosen by using the file dialog File -> Open... or by the folder dialog File -> Select Folder. Drag & drop can be used also for selecting file(s) or folder(s).

In general LatLongConverter don't ask for the name of the output file. With File -> Options... the format of the output files name can be given. If more than one convert needed, the new input file is the output file of the step before.

Examples (-> after the tool has been working):
 * zz%a_%N.txt : test.tab -> zz1_test.txt -> zz2_test.txt -> ...
 * %N_imp.txt : test.txt -> test_imp.txt
 * %N0%a.dat : test.txt -> test01.dat -> test02.dat -> ...

The encoding of the input and output file can be choosen.
