legacy file formats

When I had a Mac, I would use programs like Keynote, Pages and third party software like Mindnode. Now I use GNU/Linux and do not have regular access to those programs any more. Therefore, I need to convert them into PDF or the likes.

Those files are all over my hard drive. Some of them already have a PDF exported, some do not. In order to find those, that still need a PDF exported, I wrote a Python script.

It searches through the current directory (or any folders you specify on the command line) an searches for files that are not easy to open on GNU/Linux.

Say you have presentation.odp but want to have a corresponding PDF to it. The script will check for a presentation.odp.pdf. In case that is not there, it will resort to presentation.pdf and rename it to presentation.odp.pdf to make clear that it is exported.

Finds files which might become unreadable.
