Hi Alexander,
1.I need some clarification for my customer:

2**.What will be in target output folder ?**
When converting data from the source format to the target format, only the mandatory files are converted and placed in the target output folder ? is it right ? or these the files for GIS Convert.Layer operation only?
if I have others files like .txt or optionals like .prj for shapefile format they will be in output?
Example:Gdb to Shapefile:

3.What outputs files of the following target format, sometimes I see not only the mandatories files?
MapInfo Interchange
MapInfo Tab -sometimes only .mif sometimes .mif and .mid ?
Shapefile - I see also optional files
Thanks
Hello Dani,
We need to explore your request. We’ll be back with an answer in a couple of days.
Hi Alexander,
Can you please verify?
In addition if in source there is .txt file that not belong to format it will be in target ?

Waiting to your answer.
Thanks
Hi, @danies8
Yes
No
Correct
Dani, tomorrow I have day off.
I will back to work on Monday.
Thanks for understanding!
if I have others optional files in source like .prj for shapefile format they will be in output?
Example:Gdb to Shapefile:
This the output folder of shapefile and it has optional files, and you say no?
Please clarify this issue.

during conversion we read just mandatory files, so all other files are ignored.
I can’t reproduce you screenshot. Maybe file gml10.prj was already there before conversion
Please see:

yes, i reproduce this. You were right.
So, sometimes during conversion files like .prj can be generated. I can’t explain it in which cases.
It is a bug in your side ?
I don’t see problem here. What is work wrong?
OK.
So :
For a given conversion the engine must create the mandatory files; otherwise the target dataset would be unusable.
If the source contains optional companion files (e.g., a .prj for a shapefile, a .mid for a MapInfo Interchange file, a .cpg for character encoding, etc.) and the target format can store that information, the engine may copy those files to the output folder as well.
