Hello

I finally managed to convert all my cbr-comics within the calibre libray using the following command line :

forfiles /m *.cbr /s /c "cmd /c zipconv.bat *.cbr"

this command was given in the library directory and I placed the zipconv.bat file in the windows/system32 directory

after that all cbr files are converted to zip.files within the existing directory structure.
last step is deleting all cbr files and mass rename the zip files to cbr

So I succeeded to convert all the files to cbz files without using calibre interface and library

Last point - can I change the extension of these files to cbz using calibre ?

If this succeeds my library will be completely OK ! now my cbr files are in the cbz format but not recognized that way....
It doesn't giva any problem anymore for ComicRack but in view of looking for perfection it would be nice if I could do this.
