Option to generate JPEG from HEIC/HEIF photos as they are downloaded

[damonlynch]

Cameras that capture HDR photos and save them in HEIF/HEIC format do not create an associated JPEG. Rapid Photo Downloader could create the JPEG and save it alongside the HEIF/HEIC and the download directory, with the same base name.

Maybe this could be implemented by an option to let RPD execute a predefined executable for each completed file. This could be a script which receives the target file path as an environment variable (also the folder path, file extension etc.). In the script could happen anything you like, e.g. conversion to other formats like JPEG. This you could flexibly add features without adding too much complexity to the code base.

Implementing a plug-in system is much, much more complicated than automatically converting a file from one format to another.

That's why my suggestion with a simple script invocation instead of the plug-in system.
