[Thunar-dev] Stripping file extension in custom actions

[Glide]

It's not about Thunar but here is a solution using bash. Create an executable script called convertpng.sh with

#!/bin/bash
for file in $*
do
  convert [your options here] "$file" "${file%.*}.png"
done

Then create a custom action calling that script with:
/path/to/convertpng.sh %F

It works with multiples files.

Bonne journée :)
