Hello, a few days ago, I found that Nautilus can do by right click:

1) convert any picture (even SVG) to another format :)
2) resize any picture to certain size (you can specify any size) ;)

I know these features come with Ubuntu Tweak's help and a plugin from repo. But, how if these features included in next Dolphin? I think so many users need them. I give you example:

1) you create an encyclopedia application, so you need JPG (compressed, ahem) more than PNG. You have only 100 PNG pictures. So, will you open GIMP and save as to JPG for every picture? It is more efficient if we can do that just select and right click in Dolphin. So many times will be saved :) Okay, I know it seems Dolphin in KDE 4.8 already has this feature.

2) you need to resize the picture you have converted so they fit your app window. Nah, if all your pictures are 1024x768, but you need only 800x600, just select all pictures and right click -> resize -> select available size or manually specify. Dolphin will increase more efficiency to users if have this. Really, I feel this with Nautilus but now Nautilus is soooo slow. Dolphin is faster, maybe fastest. But Dolphin doesn't have that feature. So I proposed this idea :)

Will this be an impossible feature for Dolphin? If yes, somobody can tell me how to create manually plugin like them in Dolphin? Some advice? I hope this feature will released soon :) Thank you.
