You can open command prompt and create a text file for the .lst with all the file paths to the .idf files for updating. Navigate to the location you want the .lst Entering the following command to create the .txt list of .idf files:
dir c:\Users\path_to_idf_files\*.idf /s /b >list.txt
Open the .txt in the location to confirm the paths were properly formatted. Change the name of the .txt to a .lst file using the rename feature. Open IDFVersionUpdater and search for .lst files to open in the previous location. Run it. I did this recently for about 120,000 .idf files. It takes a while to run that many through the updater.
