Synopsis
Description
Scans directories for Profile 7 files, analyzes their FEL complexity, and batch-converts safe candidates. The command first scans all files, shows a summary, then asks for confirmation before converting.Arguments
| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
[dir] | path | current directory | Directory to scan. Multiple directories supported |
-r [depth] | number | 1 (or 5 if just -r) | Recursion depth for subdirectories |
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-temp PATH | Write temporary files to a separate directory (improves speed on HDDs/NAS) |
-y | Skip confirmation prompts (auto-confirm batch start) |
-include-simple | Include Simple FEL files in auto-mode (requires -y) |
-force | Force conversion on Complex FEL files |
-delete | Delete backup files after successful conversions |
-safe | Force Safe Mode for all conversions |
-debug | Generate debug logs for all conversions |
Safety Behavior
| File Type | Default Behavior |
|---|---|
| MEL | Converted automatically |
| Simple FEL | Pauses for confirmation |
| Complex FEL | Skipped entirely |
Examples
Batch convert current directory:The
-y flag skips the “Start batch?” prompt but still pauses on Simple FEL files unless you also use -include-simple.Forcing conversion on Complex FEL files produces incorrect results. Use this only if you understand and accept that some files will have incorrect tone mapping.
This is irreversible. Your original Profile 7 files are gone permanently. Only use this if storage space is a concern and you’re confident in the conversion results.
