As I anxiously await my KPA from Sweetwater I'm trying to come up with ideas for how I will manage all the new profiles and such that are sure to flood into here (many popping up already). One thing I noticed that has already been mentioned is that single profiles downloaded directly get their file extension flipped from *.kipr to *.mid.
I downloaded many of the current profiles in the exchange section, the ones zipped are fine when extracted. So for the one off's I wanted to include how to change the file extension on large numbers of file with one feel swoop (not sure if MAC or other OSes even have this issue).
Select the folder which has all the files who’s extension you would like to change. As an example I have made a folder named “test”, inside this folder I have placed four images in .jpg format (in my case, about 30 profiles have a *.mid extension right now in Windows). To change the extension of the files inside the folder, press Shift and right-click on the folder and select Open Command Window Here.
You will now see a Command Window with the current folderdirectory open. Now type the following command line,
ren *.(current extension name) *.(extension you want)
Since I want to change the extension from .mid to .kipr, in my case the command line would be,
ren *.mid *.kipr
Now all the files inside the folder will change to the extension you want. It’s that simple.
