for /r %%I in ("*.epub") do (
echo ******************************* >> conversion.log
echo Converting "%%~dpnI.epub" to PDF >> conversion.log
ebook-convert "%%~dpnI.epub" "%%~dpnI.pdf" >> conversion.log
)
Change
Code:
ebook-convert "%%~dpnI.epub" "%%~dpnI.pdf" >> conversion.log
to
Code:
ebook-convert "%%~dpnI.epub" "%%~dpnI.pdf" [options go here] >> conversion.log
if you want to change the conversion settings.
Moral of the story -- my bad skills are nearly as bad as your bad skills, but worse because I don't realize it. 
P.S. Leave in the ************* it is there to separate the conversion logs for each other. It is plain text to be written to the file. (The "echo" command prints text out.)
On second thought -- it doesn't really matter, I only stuck it there in the first place in order to record what was getting done. Just in case it ever becme important -- for instance, if you wanted to see what settings were used and print out potential errors and stuff. Just like Job Details in the calibre library window. |
It works!!
Thank you so much for your time. I thought it was something impossible to do.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
