--- Comment #2 from [email protected] ---
Hi, I forgot to mention, if I use scalc.exe instead of soffice.exe for
spreadsheets, then it is possible to give an input filepath meaning it won't
bulk process any folder. The option does not have a parameter i.e.
--inputfilepath, you simply put the filepath anywhere as parameter. My
suggestion is to supplement this with a new --outputfilepath and explicitly add
--inputfilepath so the above mentioned filepath is not "floating around".

I see two different ways of using an enhanced --convert-to

1.
"<path to scalc.exe>" --headless --convert-to <extension> --inputdir <dir>
--outputdir <dir> *xlsx

2.
"<path to scalc.exe>" --headless --convert-to <extension> --inputfilepath
<filepath> --outputfilepath <filepath>

Checks
* outputfilepath extension should be checked against designated --convert-to
extension. If so, throw exception.
* check to make sure that both --outputfilepath and --outputdir is not set at
the same time. If so, throw exception.
* check to make sure that if --outputfilepath or --outputdir is set, then
--inputfilepath or --outputdir is required. If not so, throw exception.

I looked at the source code, and I am not experienced enough to make any pull
request on this.
