About scanning "only paths specified by the user", do you really mean the user should search for pascal sources in a to-be-converted Delphi project directories, then type the directory names into a config file and then feed that file to the converter's GUI? IMO that is a job for the converter because its whole purpose is to automate the task. You can still do it manually if you like of course.
But it could ask about certain assumptions. Like "Should I scan the parent dir", No, yes this time, yes always
Checking the root path may not be good enough. On linux you have symbolic links. On Win you have NTFS mount-points: Any partition can have zero or more drive letters, and zero or more mount points. That means that C:\ may also be found under N:\Projects\DriveC\. And then Projects could be in N:\Projects. Searching N:\Projects would obviously be to much again.
So it is very hard to tell how data is organized. Further, I have not tested, but it may well be possible to create circular mounts....
