I've been using the Toppy Filemaker recently and it is working great.
Thanks for the work you've put in on this.

I have just one question, is it possible to run the filemaker from the
command line and bypass the GUI. I've got a bunch of files I wish to
convert and it would be a lot speedier via a batch file or script.

I've found if I type toppyfilemaker 'filename' at the command line it
will automatically open the specified file in the GUI.

Are there any command line switches available that can used to fully
automate this process?

Hi,

Yes, it will take a filename on the command line (this is how it hooks
into Toppy Explorer). Adding a batch interface for bulk processing is
on my to do list but to be honest I haven't worked on the program for
a long time - I did have plans for a batch mode in the gui, but your
idea of a command line switch to auto process may be simpler still.
Wife is going away for the weekend, so after I watch the Lions clean
up the Bulldogs 8-) I might have a chance to have a look and see if I
can do it quickly. If I can get something running I'll let you know.
