Thanks for this tool! You also tagged it with 'Amiga' but after having tested it right now, currently there is no option to save an image as e.g. iff file. Correct?

Thanks! Daniel from https://www.amiga-news.de

Hi Daniel, Version 0.7.1 can read some LBM/IFF images. If you think it would be useful to save files to IFF/LBM then this feature will be added.

What do you think if I publish a little news article on our website and ask readers/users for feedback regarding saving images to IFF/ILMB? Would you like to add some information on what was your motivation for writing the tool and did you have an inspiration/role model? So I could add this. Thank you

More feedback would be nice, thank you. Motivation- support for many rare and forgotten formats, mostly from C64 and PC. Still a lot to do but I think it's already usable. When I started around 2010 I wanted a website that allows people to quickly convert old formats to something new, like PNG and JPEG. I wrote it in PHP but it was terribly slow. Now I am porting my code to Lazarus, with more formats, a nice GUI and some extra features (filters, resizing etc).
