I’m currently working on a file converter app that lets you easily convert your files in bulk without needing to mess around with 500 settings or confusing command-line apps. It’s mostly a replacement for all those “convert X to Y” websites.
This is just a front-end for ffmpeg and imagemagick, but the goal is to make something so simple even my parents could use without uploading sensitive files to shady websites on the internet. I’ve looked around, and I found all the local GUI converters like Handbrake are unwieldy to use, especially if you just want to convert in bulk.
The project is still very early, but I’d like some feedback:
-
Does anyone think this project is worth finishing, or are there too many GUI file converters out there already?
-
What do you think about the UI so far?
Cheers.
oh, i am VERY interested in this!
seems like it’d be a very handy tool for modding, since file conversions are usually either done through gimp, if it supports the format, or some random ass tool/website that does only one thing…
having a swiss army knife type solution would be excellent!
one point of feedback about the interface:
anytime there’s a slider, there should also be a direct input field to type into.
this is to prevent things like UI scaling, or mouse sensitivity preventing proper input…ask me how i know…
might also be an accessibility thing; for example people with tremors, or generally low dexterity.
text input is never the wrong choice, but sliders can be!
