Feature idea: Allow filtering/sorting of image list

[BDGreyson]

I found the program when looking for a specific purpose: I'd like to "import folder" and convert all PNGs to PNGs with the highest PNG compression level.

This is no problem if I pre-filter the images to only PNGs. But with mixed folders I'd have to manually unselect all the non-PNGs so that, for example, JPGs are kept untouched.

This would be much easier, and faster than pre-filtering the folders, if I could sort the "to convert" image list by, for example, clicking on the column headers.

Alternatively I'd also be fine with an option menu which allowed me to set "only apply to filetype x", but I assume as the column headers are already there, maybe just sorting through them would be more intuitive.

Once sorted I could easily select/unselect with shift-selecting and the check/uncheck option.

Thank you very much for your work either way!

Hi, and thank you very much for the suggestions!

Early last year, I started working on a feature to filter file formats when folders are imported or dragged into the program.

The dialog box should look like this, although it is not yet 100% complete.

Additionally, it will be possible to sort the images in the list by clicking on their respective headers.

At the moment, I am unsure when these features will be available, as I am currently working on a new version of the program that will introduce a set of new features and include some rewritten code from scratch.

In any case, I hope to release the final version as soon as possible! :)

Filtering which images in recursive subfolders should be converted is a killer feature. I encountered this issue when I wanted to migrate my Instagram posts to Pixelfed. Pixelfed does not support heic files, and I needed only to convert those files into jpg. A generic regex would solve all sorts of issues.
