top-master / QImageConverter

Converts any supported input image-format to another format which user can select (like: gif, jpg, png, svg and more...)

QImageConverter

This is an XD-framework based portable Image-converter, which provides the possibility to convert any Qt5 supported input image-format to the other format which we do select, in a basic and simple way.

Background:

Since PhotoShop did not support SVG and WebP formats (at the time of writing), I was asked to develop a small App that does convert all the SVG and WebP files in a specified folder to the format which we select.

Build

Pre-requisite:

1. Qt Creator (github)
2. MSVC 2015 (Microsoft Visual Studio 2015)
   • Just used as compiler, not as IDE, hence installing should be enough (no need to purchase).
3. XD framework
4. Git
5. Inno Setup 5.6.1 unicode (is optional, to create an Installer)

Steps:

1. Install both 'Qt-Creator' and 'MSVC 2015' (then Qt-Creator should automatically detect MSVC 2015 as compiler, once both are installed)

2. Prepare XD framework at 'C:/XD' (download prebuilt, or, build XD framework by following its build instructions)

3. Open Qt-Creator, then Add Qt-version and configure it like:

   • Put in "qmake location" field the XD framework's qmake-executable address (e.g. "C:/XD/bin/qmake.exe")
   • Also, set the "Version name" field to "MyXD"

4. Still in Qt-Creator Create a build tool-kit and configure it like:

   • In "Qt Version" Drop-down menu, select "MyXD" (which you added in previous step)
   • In "Compiler" Drop-down menu select the auto-detected one with x86 architecture (or even configure compiler manually)

5. In Qt-Creator open as project our main build-script file which is the "QImageConverter.pro" file, then configure it to use the build tool-kit (which you added in previous step).

6. In Qt-Creator select "Build All" from "Build" menu (but before that, switch to release mode if you have no need for debug, using Ctrl+T menu).

7. Finally, wait till all components are built (but in case of failure see Issues pane; using Alt+1 shortcut, which lists any problem or warning).

All done, the application is ready to use!
