How does it work

As mentioned in the beginning Config Editor is intended as really simple and easy to use tool:

The Config Editor is really straight-forward to use and to a certain degree it simulates the work of EZConvert, with the exception that it will create config file at the end.

1.Start New or Open existing configuration file from the File drop-down menu.
 

2.Select Source and Destination formats and verify the configuration options available for each of them. The Config Editor will automatically add the necessary for the command line conversion -i and -o paramaters.
 

3.Decide if you need any of the Check, Fix or Recut options. The Config Editor will automatically add necessary -f, -check, -checkDetailed and -print parameters depending on your choice of activated options.
 

4.Save the config file using the respective option from the File drop-down menu. Once the config has been saved, its location and name will be automatically added to the Command Line.
At this point the command line should look similar to:
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EZTitlesDevelopmentStudio\EZConvert6\EZC6C.exe" -c "C:\TEST\config.cfg" -i SRT -o TT <input-file> <output-file>
 
There's only one thing to do: <input-file> and <output-file> must be replaced with the location and name of the Source and Destination files respectively.
 

5.Config Editor allows you to Test the current configuration. To do so, simply press the on Test Configuration, select Source and Destination files and wait for the conversion to be automatically executed.
 

6.Copy the edited and ready-to-use Command Line and paste it in the Windows Command Prompt to execute the conversion.
