Yes, I forgot to mention that the Bart's improvement is also included. It
prevents scanning the root directory.
I think it is a good rule even it does not make difference between the
drives (C:\, D:\ ...).

If you want to see the ProgressBar and a "Stop"-button, place your project
for example beside Lazarus source tree (or FPC source tree) so they have
the same parent directory.
I am afraid it will be slower on Windows. On Linux it happens quickly
especially when the files are once cached by the OS.


Converter has been improved since the last time I used it as well. Nice ;)

Thanks for the feedback. In fact there have not been any big changes for
some time, only small improvements and fixes.
Maybe they pile up in the end.
