Full changelog

Install

Linux

  1. Download fileconverter-v1.4.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz below.
  2. Open a terminal in your downloads folder and run:
tar -xzf fileconverter-v1.4.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd fileconverter-v1.4.0
./install.sh

The installer detects your file manager (Nautilus / Nemo / Dolphin / Thunar / PCManFM)
and sets up the right-click "File Converter" submenu.

macOS

  1. Download fileconverter-v1.4.0-macos.tar.gz below.
  2. Open a terminal in your downloads folder and run:
tar -xzf fileconverter-v1.4.0-macos.tar.gz
cd fileconverter-v1.4.0-macos
./install.sh

The installer builds the Finder right-click submenu ("File Converter"),
the native SwiftUI progress window, and File Converter.app.
Requires the Xcode Command Line Tools and Homebrew.

To remove later (both platforms):

fileconverter --uninstall

Arch Linux: yay -S fileconverter (or fileconverter-git for the latest main).

Power users: the raw Linux fileconverter binary is also attached if you want to manage placement yourself.
