 # Convert-pdn-to-ora
 
-This uses paint.net, the .ora paint.net plugin and autokotkey v2 to automatically convert .pdn (paint.net) layer files in a folder recursively to .ora (OpenRaster) so i can be opened in apps like kritta
+This script uses Paint.NET, the OpenRaster export plugin for Paint.NET,  
+and AutoHotkey v2 to automatically convert `.pdn` (Paint.NET) layer files in a folder  
+and its subfolders to `.ora` (OpenRaster) format, which can be opened in applications like Krita.
+
+## Requirements
+
+To run this script, you will need the following:
+
+- **Windows 11** (can be a virtual machine)  
+  Paint.NET does not function on Windows 10
+
+- **Paint.NET**  
+  You can install Paint.NET via `winget` or download it from [dotpdn downloads](https://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html):
+  ```sh
+  winget install dotPDN.PaintDotNet
+  ```
+
+- **Paint.NET OpenRaster Export Plugin**  
+  Download the OpenRaster plugin from [Paint.NET OpenRaster Filetype](https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/20984-openraster-filetype/) and place it in the Paint.NET filetypes folder.
+
+- **AutoHotkey v2** (Only needed if you use the `.ahk` file; if you use the `.exe`, you can skip this)  
+  Install AutoHotkey v2 via `winget` or download it from [AutoHotkey website](https://www.autohotkey.com/):
+  ```sh
+  winget install AutoHotkey.AutoHotkey
+  ```
+
+## Download
+
+Visit [the releases section](https://codeberg.org/marvin1099/Convert-pdn-to-ora/releases) to download the latest `.ahk` or `.exe` file.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. **Prepare Your Environment**  
+   Close all unnecessary windows.
+
+2. **Place and Run the Script**  
+   Place the script file in the folder containing the `.pdn` files you want to convert.
+
+3. **Delete PDN Files Option**  
+   When you run the script, it will prompt you to choose whether to delete the `.pdn` files after conversion. Select "Yes" if you want to delete them, or "No" if you want to keep them.
+
+4. **Conversion Process**  
+   The script will recursively search all folders within the specified directory. It will:
+   - Open each `.pdn` file in Paint.NET
+   - Save it as `.ora` using Paint.NET's Save As functionality
+   - Close Paint.NET
+   - Move on to the next file
+
+5. **Command Line Usage**  
+   You can also run the script from the command line:
+   ```sh
+   cd "C:\CONVERSION\PATH"
+   "C:\PATH\TO\pdn-to-ora.ahk"
+   ```
+   Or with a specific folder path:
+   ```sh
+   "C:\PATH\TO\pdn-to-ora.ahk" "C:\CONVERSION\PATH"
+   ```
+   Replace `"C:\CONVERSION\PATH"` and `"C:\PATH\TO\pdn-to-ora.ahk"` with the actual paths on your system.
+
+## Linux Compatibility
+
+If you want to run this script on Linux,
+you will need to use a Windows 11 virtual machine or a Windows installation,
+as Paint.NET does not work under Wine. 
+The `.pdn` format has not been reverse-engineered for native Linux support.
