Convert the selected files to the user defined graphic format (jpg, png, tiff, webp, gif, etc). Quality can be set. The converted images will be placed in a separate folder and the originals will remain intact. Zenity must be installed.
- Name: Convert Images
- Description: Convert the selected files to the user defined graphic format
- Command:
/home/$USER/Scripts/convert-image.sh %N
Under Appears if selection contains make sure Image Files is checked.
Change /home/$USER/Scripts/convert-image.sh to the path of the bash script, and change convert-image.sh to the name you give the bash script.
###Bash Script:
I keep my bash scripts in a folder called “Scripts” in my personal directory. To create the bash script copy the script below and paste it into a text editor. Name the script: convert-image.sh. Save it to the scripts folder you created. Make the script executable by opening up a terminal and navigating to the folder in which the script is stored. Type: chmod +x convert-image.sh And press Enter. The script will now work when used with Thunar Custom Actions.
