Perfect, this seems to work. I just copied that code block and added it
to the top of the fdauto.bat file.

Thanks, I didn't know about this software. I haven't tried it yet, but

I'll be sure to check this out. Seems like there is some issues now
where e.g. Yes/No/Overwrite/Skip does not seem to work properly. Most
