           Summary: batch conversion tool, not command line but a graphical
                    Assistant/Wizard for converting files
           Product: koffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources

            Status: NEW

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

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). ____________________________________
