I'm glad to announce that Converseen 0.9.6 now supports ImageMagick 7, the newest branch of the open-souce image manipulation suite.
Converseen is an open-source batch image processor for Linux and Windows, developed by me, that allows the user to apply automatically some operations on large groups of images. As instance, you can manage to resize, compress and change the format of a bunch of images before using them in your web pages.

During the last weeks I worked on the Qt5 porting of my open source project Converseen, a cross-platform batch conversion and image processor tool, thanks to the help of rezso, an user from GitHub who sent me some patches with a lot of useful changes that enabled the project to be compiled with Qt5.
Today I'm releasing Converseen 0.9.0, the multiplatform batch image processor tool. This new version brings new stability updates and code improvements.
For Windows users there are some news.

From now on, external PPAs are not required anymore and you can easily install Converseen on Ubuntu 14.04 (and derivates) simply using the Ubuntu Software Center (or the relative package manager) or through the terminal giving these commands:
Many times, people asked me more about the possibility to convert pdf files to images using Converseen. As you surely know, Converseen is able to read files in pdf format just because it's a format that ImageMagick can manage.
It may be a coincidence but a lot of people seems to find very useful the possibility to convert an entire pdf to a bunch of images, but the program wasn't designed to be a pdf converter.
