I removed a problem in my life, and that was linux. My god, what an awful hyped OS. There is almost no software for it, its bad quality stuff and lacks a lot of functionalilty than the windows counterparts. Windows has way more FOSS than linux! All questioning about the lack of development ends with "we are not being paid..." so that is how linux sinks.

This all means that I will not be developing this tool anymore. If someone is interesed in maintaining it, create an issue about it.

MintFileConverter

A handy context menu script to convert image and video files in linux Mint.

Features:

• Convert videos to use H265 codec and NVENC to mp4,mkv or webm.

• Covert common image files to jpg,png or gif.

• Rotate left or right: videos and images.

• Resize images

• Convert to mp4 using normal AVC codec for compatibility/web use.

REQUERIMENTS:

• For NVENC to work, you need an Nvidia GPU and proprietary drivers installed. Older cards than 10XX series may not work. Check if your card can encode video using nvenc.

• FFmpeg (with NVENC support if using H265 NVENC options) click here to see the guide

and you should see:

V....D av1_nvenc            NVIDIA NVENC av1 encoder (codec av1)
V....D h264_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V....D hevc_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)

• Zenity sudo apt install zenity

INSTALLATION:

1- Download "fileconverter" and "fileconverter.nemo_action" from this repo.

2- Put "fileconverter" in ~/.local/bin and give it execution permissions.

3- Put "fileconverter.nemo_action" in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions

4- Edit "fileconverter.nemo_action" and use the ⚠️ FULL path to the "fileconverter" script.

With time I will make a more user friendly installer and maybe add more features.
