batch conversion tool, not just command line but a graphical Assistant/Wizard for converting files

note a Wizard/Assistant like OpenOffice provides for batch conversion is only a suggested implementation, the point is we know from their example this could be a useful feature.  there are a variety of different ways this could be implemented and even a simple version which works would be great and more sophisticated versions could be added later.  

As I am sure you know Koffice include koconverter but it is not very discoverable and most ordinary users will not want to use the command line.  This functionality already exists, the Koffice developers should show off the hard work they have done and provide a user interface so that everyone can make use of it.  

This is a feature which could be potentially incoroporated into every KOffie app in a consistent way and help encourage the use of OpenDocument.  

Krita in particular requires ImageMagick a powerful tool for batch processing and it seems almost like a waste not to provide user with an easy to use graphical frontend to better exploit and leverage this existing functionality (done right you could kick the pants off of the Automation tools in Adobe Photoshop and it would be largely about putting  a nice front on all the hard work which has already been done).
