I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong here but I just can't see it. I have a number of pdb files that I want to convert to text. It seems that the simplest solution is kpalmdoc (part of kdepim). So... I crank up kpalmdoc and find two file selection boxes: "Text file:" and "DOC file:". If I select the palmdoc file in the "DOC file" box and leave the "Text file:" box empty, then click on "Convert PalmDOC to Text", I get this message: "The text file /home already exists. Overwrite it?" Er, no, let's not overwrite that. If I select a directory name under "Text file:" it tells me that "The text file /directory/I/selected already exists. Overwrite it?" In order to convert an individual file to a text file I have to create a dummy text file first, then select that and tell the program to overwrite it. It gets worse if I select "Convert whole folders". Then I get two selection boxes, "Text folder:" and "Palmdoc folder". No matter what I selections I make in those boxes, I always get the message "No text files were converted correctly" when I click on "Convert PalmDOC to Text". So, what am I doing wrong here? I can do this job by creating a dummy file for each of the pdb files that I want to convert, then individually selecting each file and telling it to overwrite the dummy file but that's obviously not the right way to do it. On a related note, can this conversion be done from the command line instead of having to go through the gui? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
