| Jan 28, 2022 at 15:23 | comment | added | convert | I am not so much familiar with Linux, as I am not using it myself, but the solution Izzy would not work for that timestamps as Linux uses diferent timestamps then Windows. | |
| Jan 28, 2022 at 11:42 | comment | added | convert | But aren´t that timestamps created automaticaly with the coresponding file? | |
| Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness♦ | @convert Every file in Windows has 3 timestamps: time/date created, time/date modified, and time/date accessed. Since the 'accessed' timestamp is changed every time you access the file, it is not important for this recommendation request. That leaves us with the 'created' and 'modified' timestamps, which I do not want to be changed. | |
| Jan 27, 2022 at 19:42 | comment | added | convert | So bulk/batch convert for any image format to another one is defenetly not a problem and defenetly much easier to use that the Linux solution, but what is meaned by timestamps exactly? | |

| Dec 22, 2021 at 22:18 | comment | added | Izzy | Yes, a chat is much better suited for that purpose. Feel free to open a room and invite me (no promises on fast or real-time reactions, though). I'm also permanently in our official room, and if you prefer you can also reach me via XMPP or Threema (the latter would also offer voice). Jitsi and BBB would also be options… ;) | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 16:02 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness♦ | @Izzy Sounds good. We'll create a chat for it, or more likely talk on another platform (any ideas?). I've wanted to completely switch to Linux for well over a decade, but I'm so efficient on Windows that it's challenging to leave so much knowledge & experience behind. Plus, I use over 100 different Windows utilities (probably 20-25 of them regularly), and finding similar tools for Linux that are reliable seems like a time-consuming task. The good news is that I've been working on switching for so long that 90% of my main non-utility applications are now intentionally cross-platform. | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 12:40 | comment | added | Izzy | Oh, I got caught… Pledging guilty and adopting that resolution. It's a good one :) // I threw out Windows through my windows around 1995 (my last one was 3.11) in favor of a "real OS". Never regretted that :D | |

Something ding this job excellently is… aw, Windows. Not sure if it exists for that niche system… #D What I use is a simple shell script: for img in *.png; do mogrify -format jpg $img; touch -r $img ${img%%.png).jpg; done. Mogrify is part of ImageMagick – and my script is using Bash. As for your bonus: easy enough to accomplish with looping over find . -type d, and exit the loop when nothing is found anymore. Could most likely be done in Cygwin…
