Dopus Native File Conversion

You already have the built in image converter and file compression tools.
Could you expand that to all file types please.

Currently if we have documents, we have to use one app to convert to a particular file type. But it can't do all types. So we have to use a different app for a different file type. And then a different app because it's a picture not a video. Or a pdf not a picture. We need multiple apps just for converting. Even the 'universal' file converters can't convert them all.

Would be cool if you had a built in universal file converter. Like a built in Win Zip studio. You could add it to your Find tool area, as a utility. With presets etc. Dopus would be the leader of converting any file type. This would by itself be worth the upgrade cost to a version 14. Since we have to shell out money for apps that can't convert everything anyway.

That tool already exists :

Magical tool

Does this syntax fishy have a GUI with presets, like the Find tool? :sweat_smile:

Put the provided code in button and see for yourself :slight_smile:

Wouldn't this just be a thing of beauty?

Every file type in the known universe? Into every other type? So you can convert an Excel 98 spreadsheet into Monkey’s Audio?

That will take approximately infinity years to implement.

Known for sure, but also the ones to come !

A while back at my local coffee shop they said that they were out of the type of donut I like.
"Ok, get the flour. I'll wait..." :blush:

But seriously, I'm talking about the mainstream file types we all use. Apps dedicated to this are always missing one or two useful types for some reason. They do type A but not B. Or B but not A.

What better place for a solid omni file converter than right in our file manager. Doc, pic, video conversions, all of it. Pop up the tool, choose a preset, couple tweaks, send it. It could batch convert, compress, send to the cloud, encrypt, password protect, use rename presets from the rename tool. All right in the comfort of our file manager living room.

Great suggestions! However, last year, I requested that Opus also handle vacuuming and dog walking. Those features should take priority.

And why not integrate everything into Dopus menus with the applications that handle these types of files? This can be done. I have menus that convert images, video files and audio files, tag audio and video files, manage executable files, synchronize folders, manage archives (ZIP, RAR, CAB, 7Z, etc.). It's all a matter of researching the application that handles these types of files and implementing buttons or scripts. Dopus is very customizable; do your research and apply it.

Yup I'm requesting a change to how this file manager manages files.
The thing that it exists to do.

You're telling me it can be done after I said it can be done.
So I can either use a mish mash of random sketchy apps, having to remember what each one does, and having to trust them. Or I can have a nice converter right in Dopus, knowing they would have made these tools correctly.

I hope this is an april fools joke. You can't be serious about this.

What's the problem?
