Manage project > map type changes only per map, not project #53

I started a project in Doom format, made many maps in a single wad. Switched to Hexen format (hit a voodoo doll snag, solved with scripting). It only changed the format for that individual map. All other maps were still in Doom format. Manually iterated through each map, changed format, saved map. Would like a blanket option or rename "Manage project" to "Manage map".

Eureka does not translate Doom actions to Zdoom actions when changing format from Doom to ZDiH format. The DOS utility ZWADCONV does this. The file contains only the EXE for Windows, and no source code, attribution, or license is provided. The author appears to be killingblair at zdoom.org.

It would be nice if Eureka could integrate the conversion when changing format.

Currently it's a bit unclear what constitutes a project. The wad management capability of Eureka is not sophisticated enough (just like any map editor except SLADE) to let you safely work on full "projects".
