Quote from: Moltke on September 22, 2017, 06:53:55 AMHi. Another way to do this is by selecting the *png file, right click on it and then select save a copy, in the saving window simply name the file adding the *jpg extension and save it, that's it. Thanks Moltke - I overlooked that detail - thankyou for pointing it out to me as I didn't know about that option.I quite like the terminal method for changing the image format as it's so simple & direct.I mentioned batch files in post #1 - do you know if Ristretto can also convert the format of those too?CheersMike
Hi. Another way to do this is by selecting the *png file, right click on it and then select save a copy, in the saving window simply name the file adding the *jpg extension and save it, that's it.
Yes my bad. I just checked and for "save a copy" you have to open the *png file in ristretto, click on "file" menu and there it is; "save a copy" then simply when saving rename it adding the *jpg extension and that's it. Guess I forgot this "little" detail. Sorry about that

Are you sure that renaming a file = converting the file format?I'm certainly no expert by any measure, but this doesn't seem right. Following the same logic one could suffix linux driver names with *.exe to make them work in Windows, which of course is not the case....Could someone with some knowledgeable overview on this please comment? I don't mean any disrespect towards you Moltke, whatsoever, when I say that and I hope it doesn't come across that way - I may well be incorrect with the comment I've made.Many thanksMike
@Moltke Dunno about this on, maybe it just renames the file with another extension. ADD : Just tried it, I dont have "Save a copy' in my Linux Lite 3.6, just "Create a backup copy" that clones it.(insert Twilight Zone music)or you just have an add-on Cheers!
