To convert images to pdf or to other formats

in terminal:

      convert *.jpg my_new.pdf

or

   convert *.png my_newpng.pdf

LibreOffice (OpenOffice) Writer is a great tool for converting images to pdf, as explained here.

convert *.pdf *.jpg

To convert media files, see this. Also, Format Factory works fine in Wine.

To add convert commands to Thunars custom actions or similar (or just run them in terminal in the proper folder):

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-unstripped-52

(Multiverse repository has to be enabled.)

Or, in Synaptic, install libavcodec-extra-53.

Then, use such commands to add to Thunar custom actions:

ffmpeg -i %f %f.mp3

or

avconv -i %f %f.mp3 

To see it in a Terminal it should look like:

gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=new1 -e "avconv -i %f %f.mp3" 

(In Gnome Terminal, create a new profile called "new1" and edit it (Edit/Profiles/Title and Command) to When command exits: Hold the Terminal open.)
