Feature suggestion: convert-format

[NeilMacMullen]

Firstly - thanks for really fantastic extension! I don't do a lot of image editing but when I do it's so useful to be able to open an image in Code.

I'm not sure if this is already supported and I'm just failing to find it but I was hoping for a "change format"/"convert to"/"save as" operation that would let me load in a jpg and save it back out as a png (or any other sensible combination).

Thanks for the kind words. You may already be able to do this via regular save as, but I'll double check to make sure it works as expected.

[NeilMacMullen]

It's definitely not possible under Save-As currently - you just get a (very long!) list of supported filetypes which are mostly just languages supported by the various other extension :-)

Oh good point, I've been using the "simple dialog" ("files.simpleDialog.enable": true) for a long time and forgot about this experience 🤦

Will check it out

I think this needs a fix in VS Code: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/124423

[NeilMacMullen]

Ah that's a shame - would it be possible to add a special luna command accessible from the command-palette that could do this?

[Tyriar]

I don't really see a nice way to do that, hopefully it'll get into vscode core soon though. You could switch on the simple dialog if this is important to you with "files.simpleDialog.enable": true

[NeilMacMullen]

Ah, no worries. Will wait for the vscode fix - thanks!
