qgis - Convert SHP to MIF/MID

I am new to GIS and QGIS software.

is there a batch convert function to convert shape files to mif/mid files?

I can do this individually but is time consuming? I have seen similar functions on here to other formats but i cannot convert them for my needs. ie create both mif + mid files.

Is there a plugin?

I use windows 8. My output folder is C:\Data\Submit

I am looking for something simple like this; Exporting several files at same time in QGIS?

Answer

For a single layer, the recipe to export with Python to MIF/MID is the following (deduced from "Dataset Creation Options" of GDAL MapInfo documentation) :

vLayer = iface.activeLayer()
QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormat(vLayer, 
        '/tmp/' + vLayer.name() + ".mif", "utf-8", 
        vLayer.crs(), 'Mapinfo File', datasourceOptions='FORMAT=MIF')

You can now combine this with step 5 from your link Export several files at the same time in QGIS
