What I'm hoping to find is a simple commandline tool that I can aim at entire folders of these documents to convert in place, with the ability to retain the Date/Time Created stamps. However, in practice, the batch function doesn't work and the script has no setting to retain the original Date/Time stamps. I've, also, attempted to use unoconv in conjunction with LibreOffice but have slammed against the brick wall of an unfixed bug from 2012.Īdditionally, I found this bash script, which purports to do exactly what I need. I attempted to use the app DocumentConverter, but it crashes every time I try to export anything. I did find some freeware that will convert old WordPerfect docs to modern formats, but it doesn't work with my ClarisWorks docs. But I can't find an option to retain the original Date/Time Created stamps to the converted files. And the "soffice -headless" commandline tool allows one to attack entire directories. LibreOffice is able to open the documents without all the weird crud and formatting issues that appear when opening them with other applications. They are unviewable with QuickLook and mdls identifies their type as CWWP. The documents appear in Finder without extensions and the system has given them exe icons despite categorizing them as Documents. I'm running the current version of Sierra (10.12.5).
