XMLBatchProcessor

The XMLBatchProcessor application was developed to be tool which lets you process a bunch of .xml file at once. The 'process' can be to replace a string with another string or convert values of numeric attributes by applying a conversion formula to them.

This tool may come in handy, when for some reason you want to or have to change a bunch of preset files for one of the rs-met products. An example scenario could be: you have created a bunch of patches for Straightliner using your own .wav files as oscillator waveforms. These patches will have stored the relative paths of these wavefiles. Now you realize that the synth supports .flac and you want to replace those .wav files with their .flac counterparts. So you do.

But in order for your patches to still work, you must now change the stored filenames in all those .xml files - no problem: invoke the XMLBatchProcessor, browse to your patch directory, set the program up to replace .wav with .flac and let it do its work. Of course, there might be completely different scenarios which are not necessarily related to patches for rs-met products at all.

DISCLAIMER: This program will irreversibly change the content of a whole bunch of files - you use it at your own risk. Although there is a mechanism to automatically create a backup of the old files (they will be zipped to an archive before applying the processing), don't rely on this for sensitive data and use this tool with care.
