I observe the behaviour you describe, when multiple cards start converting. After the conversion begins (automatically in the case of multiple cards), hit F12 to return to the RDSS Desktop and click Convert Data again, choosing another Track. If you choose multiple cards for that 2nd track, conversion will also commence automatically. However, if you choose 1 card, sometimes, I observe you are returned to the Desktop without being able to click Update to start that second card going (though sometimes not...)
The solution is, if you can't use F12 to get back to that previous Convert window (while another conversion is running), just use the standard Windows Ctrl-F6 key to cycle among the open sheets (windows) until the convert window for the card needing Updating shows. Then click Update to get it going. And then cycle back to the Desktop to start another, if you wish. Also, you can always use the Windows menu at the top of the application to select an open sheet, and go directly there.
It does work once you get the hang. I often start 7 or 8 cards converting, then go for breakfast.
As I mentioned, this Conversion module (and the Download module) will be rewritten. Soon, this download (PP and Charts)/database conversion/race calculation process (and spot play identification, etc) should happen automatically overnight for you. For now we must work with their warts.
Hope this helps,
Ted
