FrameScript/ script to convert mif>fm

[David Spreadbury]

I also looked at the DZBatcher utility. It looks like it will do exactly
what you want. All it would take is to build a little batch file to open and
save all of your mif files as Frame files.

If all you are doing is renaming the file, then just open a Command Prompt
window, go to the directory and do a "rename  *.mif  *.fm" and that will
handle them all.

Of course, make a backup of the files into another directory first! :)

Anton,
I just experimented with a few Frame files, saved out as mif. I renamed the
mif to fm and opened them in Frame, without issues. Depending on how many
mif files you want to save as Frame, you can either do it manually or get
one of many freeware file renaming tools to rename your mif to fm.

Hello David,

I know that I can open the mif file in Frame. But for each file, I have to
do a Save As and then choose FM as file type, and possibly change also the
extension from mif to fm.
