Best way to convert thousands of DMS files

[Ian]

OK, time to revisit this

Been converting again, and found my old thread, incredibly useful.

For anyone interested this is the commands in the batch file I'm using:

@echo off
SET PATH=%%~dp0

FOR /R %%g in (*.dms) do (
	cd %%~pg
	uaeunp -x "%%~dpng.dms" "%%~ng.adf"
)

This searches for all dms files in all subfolders, changes the directory when it finds one then extracts the ADF into that directory. It works pretty well and fast, there are a few DMSs that it doesn't work with though, but I will convert this within WinUAE.

I follow this with another one when the first one has finished:

@echo off
SET PATH=C:\Program Files\7-Zip

FOR /R %%g in (*.adf) do (
	cd %%~pg
	7z a -tzip "%%~ng.zip" "%%~ng.adf"
	del "%%~ng.adf"
	del "%%~ng.dms"
)

This looks for ADFs this time, so it if finds one the extraction went OK, so it zips the ADF, deletes the adf, and the DMS file, leaving the DMS files that weren't extracted in the directory still.

Hope this helps someone, anyway, thread necromancy aside, I cannot get uaeunp to work extracting ADFs from DSQ files, it throws up an error "filename".adf not found.

Is there a special function for DSQ files that isn't documented?

I assume you're familiar with ADF-Workshop by Crashdisk ?
https://www.tosecdev.org/downloads/c...5-adf-workshop

Extremely useful tool with easy DMS to ADF batch processing.

[Ian]

No, will try it on some of the ones that don't work, but it doesn't support DSQ files.

...exactly what I was going to write when I read Ian's opening post

Ian, your scripts are cool though. Well done!!!

[Ian]

Well, I'm converting 10s of thousands of DMS files, the script is definitely a lot faster, we'll see if adf workshop can extract the ones that uaeunp cannot though.

What about the ZOM and ZAP files ?

I encouentered some of those

Your tool works the same with these kind of disks images ?

Maybe this is the solution you are looking for!

Probably this one:
/Commodore_Amiga/Collection/BBS/SGT (Softgallo - Italian Amiga Club)

Where does the uaeunp.exe go as I just get an error that the tool doesn't exist?

In the same dir as the bat file should do.

[BippyM]

Doesn't work for me

[BippyM]

It works, but doesn't go recursively through folders :/

[Ian]

Where it says path you can add the directory it's stored directly. Also if it not a .bat file there are probably too many percentage signs, if it's cmd there should only be one I believe each time.

[BippyM]

Ian, did you sort out conversion of DSQ files? If not I have a simple Dopus4 script I use to convert to an adf.

Extremely primitive, and rudimentary but it worked 10 years ago when I was a renamer
