Hi
Since I'm not a programmer but I do know how to follow instructions I'm stuck at yours. How exactly can I achieve converting a bunch of FIT files in a directory?

I'm confused about where to put code from the instructions.

Hi SimplePotato (username checks out),

The code from the instructions is all you need. You can simply execute the following (after replacing the directory path) and it will be done:

from fit2gpx import Converter conv = Converter() # create standard converter object conv.fit_to_gpx_bulk(dir_in='_<enter_path_to_directory>_', dir_out='./project/activities_convert/')

The only thing you need to change is the dir_in variable, which should be a string pointing to the path of the directory containing your FIT files. Hope this helps!

700 fit files converted in 0.57 sec. That's crazy how much time this tool saved me 🤯 Thanks @dodo-saba

I found out what my issue was...
I could not get setup.py to work and I had to install (pandas, gpxpy and fitdecode) modules manually with pip3.
