Batch convert svg|pdf|eps|emf|wmf to eps|pdf|png|svg

Batch converter for windows using InkScape and the command line
Just download the file InkscapeBatchConvert.bat Put it in the folder where you have files you wish to convert. Then double click the file to start it. This is compatible with latest version of InkScape

Modifications to the original batch file:

• Allow for direct conversion from eps to svg.
• Added ability to quit at any question by typing q.
• Shows total count of files it will affect before starting to doing anything.
• Shows x/total during conversion of the current file.
• Outputs to full path (Thanks leifcr)
• Added inputs emf and wmf (Thanks leifcr)

You can later use something like https://glyphter.com/ to create webfont from the final svg files.

Troubleshooting

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

InkscapeBatchConvert.bat
