You need to manually install the dependencies and then restart Cinnamon for it to work. Dependencies: - imagemagick (Use APT to install it) - ffmpeg (Should be installed by default on Mint) - python (Should be installed by default on Mint)

For anyone who also have error with "unsupported format" for .jpg: go to ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/convert-file@thigschuch/action.py and add to dict FORMATTERS["IMAGE"["FORMATS"]] line "JPG", so it looks like this: ... "FORMATS": ( "BMP", "GIF", "HEIC", "ICO", "JPG", # added line "JPEG", "PNG", "TIFF", "WEBP", ),

jpg extension, which is an equivalent of jpeg - "the file format is not supported" error

In case anyone else needs help, here's how I got it working. 1. open Terminal and install each dependency individually. 2. open System Settings, click the Download tab and download Convert File. 3. click the Manage tab, select Convert File and click the plus icon in the bottom toolbar. If you see a check mark next to it, it should be working. The only issue I have now is that the drop-down box doesn't show an option for *.flac.

I can't get it to work. I downloaded it successfully and enabled it through System Settings, but I can't find it anywhere. I tried using Nemo (I normally use Krusader) but the context menus don't show "convert file" anywhere. I copied a file to the desktop, and tried it there, but "convert file" doesn't appear there either. I opened a terminal and entered "convert" and hit "tab", but nothing came up. I am running: System: Kernel: 6.8.0-49-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.2.0 clocksource: tsc Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.2.9 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin v: 6.2.0 vt: 7 dm: LightDM v: 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 22 Wilma base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

It works flawlessly and is very straightforward. If anyone has a problem with the dependencies, remember to install them before using the action: ```sudo apt install ffmpeg imagemagick```. Python3 was already installed on my fresh mint22.
