Although the browse button will allow you to select multiple files, it is limited in that the list of filenames can only grow to a certain size, and beyond that selected files may not be selected.
However, the program also supports wildcards, so if you edit the selected filename to be a wildcard, then all the files that match this wildcard will be converted. For example
c:\myText\*.txt
matches all the text files in the "C:\myText" folder. If you combine this with the checking the "search sub-folders" option, then the program will also search all sub-folders of "C:\myText" looking for *.txt files. In this way the whole directory tree of text files can be converted at one go.
Notes:
(1) There's theoretically no maximum number of files that can be converted this way, and I know of conversions of up to 70,000 files in one go. That said for performance reasons it's sometimes advisable to break up the conversions into smaller batches.
(2) The console versions of the converter are sometimes better suited to very large batch conversions.
