Is it possible to specify a folder and then process all files in that folder as well as all subfolders?

You can't do this with Batch Converter (it doesn't do subfolders of subfolders). But you can do this easily with a script.

Have a look at the script "Generic Script to process files in a folder", currently #83 in your hymnal.

Hi TJ,

Thanks for the info... I checked out that script, but it only processes the files in the selected folder. It doesn't process the subfolders. What changes do I need to make in order for it to process subfolders as well?

Thanks!
Scott

You could recurse on Directory.GetDirectories, but I had a hunch that the runtime would now do this for you. A quick check of MSDN proved me right.

Change this:

foreach (string strFilename in Directory.GetFiles(strFolder, "*.wav"))

to this:

foreach (string strFilename in Directory.GetFiles(strFolder, "*.wav", SearchOption.AllDirectories))

This is only available in .NET 2.0 or later. So if you need it to work in Forge 8.0, you'll have to write your own.
