Opening and converting Impict IPP images in SnipSVG

If you have been using the previous Impict screenshot and image editing tool in our Help+Manual® documentation authoring suite you can convert your old Impict IPP images directly by opening them in SnipSVG. They are converted automatically when you open them. You can then save them in the SnipX or SVG format to continue using them in SnipSVG.  

Important: You must use the Open dialog for this

Note that you must use the Open dialog to convert IPP images. You can't insert IPP images with the Image tool or load them from the placeholder in a new picture.

Bulk converting IPP images (Windows only)

The converter for IPP images is actually a separate program in the SnipSVG program directory called ipp2snip.exe. You can use this program to batch convert IPP images from the Windows command prompt, using the following command line:

for /R %%G in (*.ipp) do "C:\Program Files\EC Software\SnipSVG\ipp2snip.exe" "%%G" "%%G.snipx"

Switch to the directory containing the IPP files before executing the command, of course. If you have installed SnipSVG in a different location you need to change the highlighted portion of the command line to the path where you have installed it.
