Can PPT2HTMLBatch "watch" multiple folders?
With a little extra work you can easily have PPT2HTMLBatch watch multiple folders.
In Command Line or One-Pass mode, you can invoke it repeatedly on several watched folders in sequence, so it can indeed watch multiple folders.
PPT2HTMLBatch starts in Command Line or One-Pass mode if you start it from a command line with the path to a folder as a parameter. For example:
PPT2HTMLBatch C:\Incoming\PowerPoint\
causes PPT2HTML to:
- Start up
- Check C:\Incoming\PowerPoint\ for PPT files
- Process any files it finds
- Quit
It makes one pass through the specified folder and converts all the files it finds there.
This means that even a simple batch file could monitor several folders, for example:
rem Contents of EXAMPLE.BAT @echo off :START PPT2HTMLBatch c:\incoming\client1 PPT2HTMLBatch c:\incoming\client2 PPT2HTMLBatch c:\incoming\client3 PPT2HTMLBatch c:\incoming\client4 goto START
Or to save a few clock cycles, you could replace each line with:
if exist c:\incoming\client1\*.ppt PPT2HTMLBatch c:\incoming\client1
There are even trickier things you can do with BAT files, or a custom-written program could let you select folders to watch, then invoke PPT2HTMLBatch for you. We're available to write such programs on request.
