SnowConvert allows you to run a conversion over a specific portion of your code, ignoring the parts that do not need to be converted.
The 'Project Creation' page will show a checkbox called 'Convert a subfolder' below the input folder path field.
Click on it to open the folder explorer where a specific folder could be selected for conversion.
The folders shown on the folder explorer component, are the ones that contain files with allowed extensions (depending on the selected source platform). So, if a folder does not show up on the folder explorer, it means it does not contain files with the allowed extensions.
To select a subfolder, click on the radio button located on the left side of the subfolder list item. You can expand or collapse the subfolder to review the files within it by clicking on the subfolder name or clicking on the expand/collapse icon on each item.
After selecting a subfolder, the selected folder path can be viewed on the "Convert the following" section above the folder explorer component.
Hovering on the path label will show a tooltip with the full path, this applies to any field that contains a shortened path (input folder path, output folder path, etc.).
Then, enter your access code and click on the 'Save & Start Conversion' button. The conversion will be executed using only the selected subfolder as the input.
When this process is completed you will be able to see:
Conversion Results: Conversion reports will be open as soon as your conversion is finished and you click on the 'View Results' button. The selected subfolder will appear below the 'Execution Summary' section along with other information.
Conversion Output Code: To check this you only need to click on 'View Output' on the Conversion Results page and the folder that contains your converted code will be opened.
Retry Conversion: After you execute a conversion, on the Conversion Results page you can select the Retry Conversion button to run again the conversion. That is useful if you change the source code and want to convert the new source code again, or even if you want to select another subfolder to convert.
