Is MrC Converter Suite still available?

Hi,

I see some references to this suite to assist with migrating to 1Password when searching for guidance on migrating from Keeper.

Unfortunately, all the links I find are from the old support community, so just redirect to the front page now.

Trying to search for it within the new community hasn't had much success either - it just brings up hundreds of posts from threads about old issues with the converter, but no link to the converter itself.

Is it still available on here, and does someone have a link to it that works in the new community discussions?

Is it still valuable to use this for importing from Keeper, or would just importing a CSV likely work as well? (the instructions suggest a manual confirmation of the type of every record will be needed, which sounds time consuming)

I will be aiming to migrate using a Linux laptop, if that makes a difference (as it seems there is no way to migrate using an iPad)

Thanks

Michael

    Hi Folks,

    Sorry for the delay in responding; I'm just catching up from being out of town for the past two weeks, and getting used to the new forum.

    The suite is still available in the same Dropbox location:

    https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/b65rvwp16c7d9tjs13gt2/AKBtHtOJ7tQz-buum6Wl24Q?rlkey=c9jjjq2e02bti7xuz81k49cwx&dl=0

    Before the forum conversion, I copied the content of the main thread.  Now I need to decide how I want to replace the info that was contained on that page.

    I'm here if you have any questions.

    Hi,

    it's the same for me. I want to get my Enpass Data to 1password, best would be with foto and pdf attachments.

    Is there any chance to get the latest Version?

      I've known about this suite for many years but haven't needed to use it, but we're about to do some Keeper migrations so this is good timing, and I just grabbed it for some testing, thanks :-)

      Any particular reason for Dropbox distribution rather than something like publishing it on GitHub where you could maintain versions history/change and releases/branches, for free?

      @dszp 

      You're welcome.

      There are a couple of reasons why I've avoided distributing via GitHub.  I've mentioned these on the forum here, but these are now lost due to the migration to this new platform.  Here are a few:

      • GitHub's landing page is not well suited to non-technical users, the primary audience of the converter suite.  I needed a simple landing page (admittedly, over time, Dropbox's UI became rather bloated and obtuse).
      • My process for building the documentation from the source code and the final archive isn't well-suited to GitHub, and for me would be less efficient and offers little value.
      • Over the years I've provided many custom converters for users, and being able to provide these easily to non-technical users has been extremely effective and efficient.
      • For user security and confidence, I didn't want random forks and copies of the code around. I've had some repositories taken down from GitHub.

       

      That said, more recently, I have been thinking about this, but I've been too busy this past year to make any headway.  Perhaps 2025 will see some progress.

        Thanks, that makes sense! I ended up uploading it to a private repository for my team to reference, but Dropbox just seemed unusual for software/script distribution, I appreciate the thoughts. I would argue that documentation is flexible in GitHub and the display of README.md by default along with the ability to build documentation into GitHub Pages (along with all the custom power available via GitHub Actions--which could build the docs from source) beyond that does lend itself to GitHub well but would definitely involve changes.

        But I do also get the reasons for not using it, though the change tracking does seem to be a substantial benefit in terms of both seeing what's changed and not having to track downloaded versions over time manually, since it would be simple for advanced users to clone and update the repository to stay up to date--with releases being downloadable by less technical users still who don't understand Git. Regardless, I appreciate the details and time restraints, thanks again! It's a very useful tool regardless of distribution for sure and I very much appreciate the consistent effort over so long!

        Makes sense. I don't doubt it is probably convertible, but don't doubt the effort will take time if you even want to. (Of course you could convert locally and push to GitHub still, without much issue.)

        GitHub and software supply chain/validation efforts have both evolved quite a bit since you started the script, for sure! (I personally finally figured out Git and GitHub about a year ago, despite multiple attempts in the past and a long history of small personal scripting projects going back over 20 years now, and several (bad!) false starts with version control.) I appreciate the additional info, I'm sure we will make-do until you have the time and desire to make changes, just wanted to make sure it had been considered!
