Hi,

thanks for your help.

converseen is a nice and easy to use programme,
in which you can  convert an image/picture/photo with some klicks.

And also many images at once.

You simply choose/load all the images, tick them,

and with one other tick you convert all of them at once
in choosing beforehand how much and to what kind you would like to 
convert them.

So if it doesn’t take too much time for somebody to build it for Guix
I would be happy.


Kind regards

Gottfried
