A while ago I wrote two scripts as part of the OpenLP 2.0 rewrite, to
|
||
convert the openlp.org 1.0 songs database and bible files to OpenLP 2.0
|
||
format. Unfortunately these scripts were Linux/Unix-only until recently,
|
||
because I couldn't get the SQLite 2.8 module for Python compiled on
|
||
Windows.
|
||
|
||
However, Jonathan Corwin did some digging, and found out how to do it,
|
||
and so I've compiled those two scripts into two stand-alone command line
|
||
executables for Windows. We'll eventually include both songs and Bible
|
||
imports in OpenLP 2.0, but for the moment, you can use these two command
|
||
line apps to convert your databases for you.
|
||
|
||
Songs: openlp-1to2-converter.exe
|
||
|
||
Bibles: bible-1to2-converter.exe
|
||
|
||
How to use them:
|
||
|
||
Both scripts support a "--help" parameter, which provides you with the
|
||
usage of the script, and extra parameters that you can pass to the
|
||
scripts.
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
C:\> openlp-1to2-converter.exe --helpUsage: openlp-1to2-converter.exe [options] OLDDATABASE NEWDATABASEOptions: -h, --help show this help message and exit -o, --overwrite Overwrite database file if it already exists. -v, --verbose Outputs additional progress data. -d, --debug Outputs raw SQL statements (overrides verbose).
|
||
|
||
Note that the songs database is "songs.sqlite" and is found in
|
||
C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Application Data/openlp/data/songs
|
||
on Windows XP. Bibles are "Version\_Name.sqlite" and found in
|
||
C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Application
|
||
Data/openlp/data/bibles.
