Converseen image converter announced 0.9.10.0 release few days ago. Here’s how to install it in Ubuntu via PPA.<\/p>\n

Converseen is a free and open-source tool for converting or resizing a large quantity of photo images to another format with a few mouse clicks.<\/p>\n

The new 0.9.10.0 release redesigned the Images Settings<\/b> dialog. Previously, it automatically removes the metadata (information including date & time, device, and even location you capture the photo image<\/i>) in output images, and replaces with only modified date and other non-sensitive data.<\/p>\n

Now, it provides a “Remove image’s metadata<\/b>” check-box. So, user can manually choose to either to remove the metadata information about the photo images in output files.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see in the screenshot above, it now supports configuring the compression level and image quality for WebP<\/b> images. As well, it fixes a bug that inhibits the overwrite feature when the Rename option is checked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How to install the new Converseen 0.9.10.0 in Ubuntu<\/h3>\n

The image converter is available to install in different package formats: AppImage, Snap, and Deb. Choose either one that you prefer.<\/p>\n

1. AppImage<\/b><\/p>\n

The software website provides the universal AppImage for downloading via the link button below:<\/p>\n

\n
Download Converseen (AppImage)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a non-install package. Just grab it, right-click and go to ‘Properties’ dialog to add executable permission. Finally, click run the AppImage will launch the tool.<\/p>\n

2. Snap<\/b><\/p>\n

For Ubuntu 20.04+, the snap package is the easiest way to get converseen, though it runs in sandbox. Just open Ubuntu Software, search for and install the package marked as ‘Snap Store (snap)’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Ubuntu PPA (.deb)<\/b><\/p>\n

For those who prefer the classic .deb package format, there’s unofficial PPA<\/a> that contains the package for Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, and Ubuntu 22.10.<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> First, press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run command to add the PPA:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/apps<\/pre>\n
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) and hit Enter to continue.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2.<\/b> Then, install the software package by running command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install converseen<\/pre>\n
Linux Mint user may have to run sudo apt update<\/code> first to update cache.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Uninstall:<\/h3>\n
The PPA also contains some other software packages, so you may remove it immediately after installed Liferea.<\/p>\n
To do so, either run the command below in terminal, or remove the source line under “Other Software”<\/b> tab in Software & Updates<\/b> tool.<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/apps<\/pre>\n
To remove the feed reader package, simply run command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove converseen<\/pre>\n
That’s all. Enjoy!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
