win2xcur-batch

Batch converts and renames cursors from Windows format (*.cur, *.ani) to Xcursor format.

Prerequisites

This project is a helper program for win2xcur. Original project needs to be installed.

Usage

Notice: the program has only been tested on Linux Mint.

Download and unarchive the latest release from GitHub.

tar -xvf win2xcur-batch-vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.tar.gz
cd win2xcur-batch-vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Place your .ani or .cur files as a directory inside the directory Unzipped. Cursor directory might be renamed if it contains whitespace as win2xcur converter does not support them in the directory path. Your hierarchy should look something like this.
