How to open
This dialog box is opened from the Advanced menu.
Description
You can convert “.mmb”, “.imb”, and “.pmb” files. The current profiling settings in the M3 software are used when converting to “.all” files. The source and destination folders are saved in the “PowerUsersInfo.xml” file after the Profile Batch Conversion dialog box is closed.
After setting up the batch conversion, click the Convert button to start the conversion process. You can view the progress of both the current file and of all files in the batch.
