Converting Files


The Convert Files dialog

This dialog is used to convert files between different formats. The supported file types for this dialog are Ampac Input files, Gaussian Input files, MDL Mol files, MDL SDF files, GMMX Input files, and Sybyl Mol2 files.

The Add Files button will open the operating system’s file opening dialog and navigate to the last directory from which a file has been opened. This dialog is used to specify the files to be converted. Once added, they appear in the file list at the bottom of the dialog.

The File Type menu displays the type of files that GaussView can convert into. Selecting one of these will convert all of the specified files into this file type.

The Scheme menu allows you to specify if a calculation scheme should be used when creating the files. This option will only appear when selecting an Ampac Input File or a Gassian Input File.

The Directory menu allows you to choose the directory where GaussView will save the converted files. By default, GaussView will save the files in the source directory of the input files.

The Overwrite Existing Destination Files checkbox specifies if GaussView should overwrite files of the same name in the destination directory.

The Convert menu allows you to convert the highlighted file/all of the files in the above file (depending on the item you select).

The Clear menu allows you to remove files in the above file list.

The Close button will exit the Convert Files dialog.
