GUI file converter app and its commands

[Amigo]

Good day @TimothySimon,

I created an icon for your app (F->ile & an inverted C->onverter)

If you like it and want to use it, Use it freely. If you don't like it or don't want to use it. It's OK too

Attached zip file with the .svg and .png icon

Thank you so much ........
This is really a forum of VERY helpful people.

You can post/PM about how I should attribute your contribution.

@TimothySimon you can add lines for that in the copyright file under packaging/debian, pretty clear what to do, but let me know if you have questions

@Amigo I really really like it, but maybe could you bring the bottom of the colored section down to be paralel with the other?
might help make it look more uniform, also don't forget to check how it looks on light and dark themes and at the small size that will show in the panel and menu, sometimes we think something looks great at scale, but when we shrink it it doesn't.... I say this cause I think that black outline might be too thick, but maybe it isn't

Good day @SwampRabbit,

OK attached let's call it the V2

maybe could you bring the bottom of the colored section down to be paralel with the other?
- Done!

also don't forget to check how it looks on light and dark themes
- Done! attached a preview of the icon with a dark and light background (if you think a variation is needed please let me know)

and at the small size that will show in the panel and menu, sometimes we think something looks great at scale, but when we shrink it it doesn't.... I say this cause I think that black outline might be too thick, but maybe it isn't

-I decreased the outline. If it's possible to use the .svg image the size it's not a problem the image will scale automatically without loosing the sharpness
Attached an image where i put the .svg image in the panel(22px) just to test it and that is how it will looks

If a .png image it's needed please let me know the requiered messures and i can create it

Please let me know if that can work or if we can improve in other way the icon

Regards

@Amigo looks pretty darn good to me!

The svg version can be used.

Thank you for your suggestions and your PR.
Also accepted your 2nd PR.

Major changes:
* Added document file support (for all conversions supported by LibreOffice)
* Added option to extract audio from video.
* Use ffmpeg instead of sox for Audio file conversion.

NOTE: Document files can be converted ONLY if LibreOffice supports the conversion.

Please give all of your valuable comments and suggestions.

[TimothySimon]

Please run and test the app and provide your valuable comments and suggestions.

If anyone can suggest improvements in the app, you're welcome.

BTW the Audio & Video part may be a bit lacking , as I'm not so well-versed with that.

[SwampRabbit]

Nice work

I'll build this latest one and let you know how the packaging and testing goes first chance I get.

Thanks.

The sox dependency is removed (ffmpeg for both Audio and Video).

Fact 1: LibreOffice is HUGE.
Fact 2: We need it for document conversion.
What I chose: libreoffice is now "recommended" (is this a good practice ?)
