    *Batch converter for Windows using Inkscape with the command line*
    InkscapeBatchConvert is an easy to use solution to quickly convert all files of a folder to another type without the need to open Inkscape. The program uses Windows Batch scripting and will only work on Windows.
    Tested with Inkscape 0.9.x - 1.3.x ✅
    Tested with Inkscape 1.0.x - 1.3.x ✅ (The last version that supports Inkscape 0.9.x can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/JohannesDeml/779b29128cdd7f216ab5000466404f11/a8a66794eddede521053c9242eca10239110cc1f))

    ## Usage
    1. Download `_InkscapeBatchConvert.bat`
    2. Put it in the folder where you have files you wish to convert.
    2. Put it in the folder where you have files you wish to convert (will also scan on all subfolders for files of input type).
    3. Then double click the file to start it.

    ## Todo

    Use shell or pipe to avoid starting inkscape for every file as pointed out by @vaifrax [here](https://gist.github.com/JohannesDeml/779b29128cdd7f216ab5000466404f11#gistcomment-2697671). I would be very happy to get help for that 🙂

    *Batch converter for Windows using Inkscape with the command line*
    InkscapeBatchConvert is an easy to use solution to quickly convert all files of a folder to another type without the need to open Inkscape. The program uses Windows Batch scripting and will only work on Windows.
    Tested with Inkscape 0.9.x - 1.0.x ✅

    ## Usage
    1. Download `_InkscapeBatchConvert.bat`
    2. Put it in the folder where you have files you wish to convert.
    3. Then double click the file to start it.

    ## Troubleshooting
    Check if your inkscape path is C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe, otherwise change the path in line 3 in the bat script

    ![Windows protected your PC](https://i.imgur.com/fSAJXh0.png)
    In order to enable running the program, right click the file->Properties->Unblock
