Just a little request that I feel would greatly enhance this converter, I have a lot of Flipnotes and I feel this converter presents a HIGH barrier of entry just via lack of this feature alone in coming over to Clipnote Studio.
Bulk Conversions
This would make the conversions far less tedious as you can do whole folders at a time the current conversion method is very tedious as you have to do them in "Chunks" that is to say convert multiple each one after another then import those in.
This has the downside of losing track of and even importing a flipnote twice which you can't easily delete in clipnote, you have to go to the notes folder in AppData and delete the copy.
By allowing bulk conversions however it makes it much more user-intuitive: Multi-select the flipnote files then drag and drop them then simply click "Convert All" and it works on converting the Flipnotes you input, would it take longer than a single one?
Maybe but it would definitely make the process less tedious overall, and help cut down on importing a note twice.
Skip Steps
During my conversion process I ended up trying to convert an old Hatena Flipnote, and during the process it seemed to have been taking a while, so I went to bed and found in the morning it was still trying to convert it.
I stopped it and proceeded to try to convert it on my laptop (figured it may be an issue with my desktop maybe) and was forced to wait another night + half a day and guess what I was greeted with?
It was still trying to convert the file, and I could immediately tell that despite trying it's best the audio conversion was simply not gonna happen, so I effectively gave up on it however I did find a means during this flipnote trying to convert on how to get the audio that you may want to consider as a secondary option: Manual Conversion
Using your Flipnote player I could convert any given Flipnote to .mp4 then convert that to .ogg to use in Clipnote, that's how I restored the Audio in the "Sham-WOO-HOO" Flipnote.
This left me thinking, if I could've gotten the .clip file for the Flipnote I spent 2 nights trying to convert then I could use this same process for the audio to restore it, only reason I can't was because of the converter trying to convert said audio so my suggestions are the following:
The converter checks how long it's been on a step, and if it's been working on one step for more than an hour and a half, it skips it and moves on the the next.
Add a Button to the current step that says "Skip Step" clicking will make the converter skip that step and move onto the next one:
That way nobody else has to wait only to effectively be told that they aren't getting a Flipnote, they can just convert the audio themselves!
Finally a little bug I experienced is that on some of my Flipnotes it failed to convert the layers to images which I feel is something that can and should be fixed.
Overall though this is a neat tool to help preserve these old animations for generations to come and I hope you continue doing good stuff with it!
