Where is “changing the file type extension” in the name?
That has to be Chaotic Evil.
that would be renaming the file extension but keeping the same format opening it up in an app that breaks it totally, then saving that and sharing it with a Windows user and spending an hour with them trying to make it work because they have to see it!!!
You’ll quickly learn which software trusts extensions and which uses MIME type detection
I still laugh at learning that some random files in my friends Factorio mod were misnamed when Factorio changed the library they used in 2.0
You know who used to do that? Microsoft Teams. I would take photos with my phone and upload them via Teams, Teams would display them just fine but saving them teams would name them .png (even though they were jpeg) and I couldn’t open them with the gnome image viewer (this is also how I found out that the image viewer prioritizes extension over magic byte (which seems stupid to me).
That’s not on the chart because it doesn’t convert it. It only renames it. A JPEG ending with .png is still a JPEG
That’s what the mimetype cult wants you to believe.
One could argue that they have converted it, but it was done poorly.
In a similar sense, the screenshots and phone photos are not conversions. They are entirely new images.
I would say that’s not comparable. One process (screenshotting or taking a photo as PNG) results in a PNG as the output. The other process results in an image of the same format as the output. I guess at best you could make a philosophical argument as to what is ontologically a PNG: is it something that ends in
.png, or is it a file that follows the PNG format? I think most people would say the latter, so if we say the definition of something is just a description of how it’s used, then the former process results in a PNG and the latter process does not.Also, how is screenshotting an “entirely new image” in a way that e.g. putting it into GIMP and exporting to PNG isn’t? That’s doing the same thing. You know there isn’t some “canonical” JPEG to PNG algorithm, right?
F2 -> backspace backspace backspace -> “png” -> enter
Chaotic Stupid 😄
Mint has an “Action” for that, what does that make me?
actually lawful good, imagemagick and ffmpeg barely do anything different in this case, and the python script uses imagemagick if I know PIL right
the “shitty website” box is also likely just ImageMagick too
i guess it fits the ‘lawful’ part then
Damn, that’s really handy. I would kill for Dolphin to have this.
LMDE is <3
I’ve considered using it when I want something stable, but I also just like Debian by itself.
I’m currently rocking Fedora, but I like fast updates on desktop.
They keep implementing things I did years ago.
you say that like its a bad thing?
I’m the ffmpeg guy. It’s the pandoc of binary media, except it actually does do everything.
Hmmm. I need to write an PR for converting mardown to jpeg.
Rename file extension to .png
Works every time for *.webp .
Where does “just change the extension to .png” fit in this chart?
Pure evil
I needed to crop a couple of images a few days ago and completely forgot about graphical editors. I spent like 10 minutes repeatedly using imagemagick with slightly tweaked parameters until I liked the crop
I needed to do the same, but for 6500 images. Worked out great.
Why is ffmpeg Chaotic? I use it for video edits sometimes, too. Like if you need to stack videos in rows and columns, FFMPEG is my go-to.
Using the video tool for a single still image is a bit chaotic, but it’s still a tool made for the job so it’s good. Chaotic Good. Makes sense to me.
It’s a hugely powerful tool.
However, as we all know, some people treat the terminal as if it is the very inky blackness, in which, writhes the tentacles of C’thulu itself.
Taking a pic with your phone sounds chaotic evil to me
Yes, that’s the only one that destroys the image.
Decode the image with ffmpeg, pipe it to imagemagick and encode it again
download from chrome
go into files
select file
press f2
change webp to png
die inside
people hate webp but the issue is more on windows and partially on Google
Google killed jpegxl (webp but compatible) which would’ve made everything easy to work with, and Microsoft didn’t even bother adding webp as a format which is just crazy
I assume bash scripts using
jpegtopnm | pnmtopngare also in the neutral good category (from Netpbm).I use imagemagick, but the commands changed recently and I don’t use it often enough to remember the new ones.
Have they? I’ve been using the same bash script for a decade now without change.

Duplicate comment
one was in jpeg and one in png
it’s pronounced fee enn gee
oh, thanks. it said it had an error the first time. Guess it lied lol
Tell the Rabbit AI landwaste thingy to describe the image, then feed the result into Midjourney.
