Here are a few notes:
1. If the name of the destination directory has spaces in it, PawdioConverter seems to start to work but too soon stops, with an error message that gives no clue (to me anyway) that it can't handle spaces in the name of the destination directory. (I saw a window at one point telling what characters are permitted, but it didn't explicitly prohibit spaces so it took me a while to realize that was the problem.
) This is a relatively minor problem, in that the obvious workaround is to use a name without spaces until PawdioConverter has finished, then change the name. Still, wouldn't it be possible to make it so that spaces are ok? 2. This one is really serious. When I chose a source directory full of mp3 files to convert (instead of a single mp3 file) PawdioConverter first converted every mp3 file in the source directory into a wav file, which it put in a tmp directory inside the destination directory, before it began to convert any of the wav files into mp3 files. In my case, of converting mp3 to whatever, this blows up the source files by a factor of about 20, which could use up all the available space in the partition where the destination directory is located. It seems to me that the Puppy way should require a far smaller temporary directory for the intermediate wav files. How about converting each source file completely to the final version before starting on the next? That way, the temporary directory only holds one wav file at any time.
I hope this is not taken as griping, but rather friendly,constructive criticism from someone who appreciates the program. It works, but it could be even better.
Well, I can use the program as is, I just have to be careful that there's enough room in the destination directory to hold everything.
