During a batch conversion, file errors may pop up, such as:
a) not a valid MusicXML file
b) file corrupt
... maybe a tick box can be added to say: skip these errors.

The benefit would be not having to baby-sit the conversion (and press 'no' or ignore' umpteen times), but rather walk away from it and return once finished.
In this context I converted 6,000 MXL files to MSCZ and sat there for a few hours pressing no or ignore to get through :)

Maybe even add an option to create a log file, either recording all concerted files, or only reporting on failed ones (the latter is what I'd do).

A command line switch for this does exist, -f and --force, but the corresponding setting is not available to the plugin framework, and only effective when in converter mode
