I am not familiar with the Windows application, so I don't know exactly what you 
want to do.

If you want to take images in one format and change them to another (compressed) 
format, you would require an application such as ImageMagick: "convert".  If you 
have ImageMagick installed, KDE should already have some such actions available 
in the "Actions -> Convert To" context menu (they won't show up unless the 
command "convert" exists on your system).  You can make multiple selections.  If 
this isn't exactly what you want, you can add your own actions to the 'desktop' 
file:

	$KDEDIR/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/imageconverter.desktop

These use the default value [75] for: "convert".  If you want a different value, 
you need the option: -quality <value>.  Read the: "convert" & ImageMagick(1) man 
pages.

I added JPEG-2000 [jp2].  Just use one of the existing options as a prototype.

Note that these say "Convert To" but they do not remove the original.
