This is an extension for Nemo that adds context menu shortcuts to bulk-convert images to PNG format, and optionally optimize them with pngcrush. Obviously, pngcrush is a dependency, but if it's not present, the image conversion pieces should still work. Depending on how many images are selected to convert/crush, the process can be lengthy, so a progress window is shown to the user. Python dependencies are pillow and PySimpleGUI, both available on PyPi.

Thing is- a nemo action may be more easier to maintain. If it was to like open up a new dialog and have lots of other options it'd make sense. Otherwise this may be best to be put into nemo-image-converter?

Well It'd probably end up being rewritten in C, using something like the ImageMagick API

Hi,

I'll mark this as WIP. In Cinnamon 5.2 we're planning to introduce a new spice type: nemo actions.

This could be done with a single text file as a nemo action, not just easier to maintain but easier for people to install, review, etc..
