Gwenview should allow converting multiple images to a single pdf

Brainstorm

I tried to take a bunch of images in gwenveiw, I pressed print, and tried to turn it into a pdf, it only turned on of the selected images into a pdf, I would like a batch mode, where maybe you can select stuff like one image per page, I managed to do this with this command

magick *.jpg output.pdf

Using magick, but it would be better for me, and anyone who would like to do the same, if such an option was available in gwenveiw, so they dont need to rely on another tool or go looking around for it, especially if they are a beginner at linux and perfers doing things graphically.

Take a look at Dolphin instead - image2pdf service menu lets you select multiple images and convert them with one click.

Settings :play_button: Configure :play_button: Context Menu :play_button: Download New Services…

Search image2pdf click install.

Maybe you have to install image2pdf package with your package manager…

sudo apt install img2pdf  # For Debian/Ubuntu/KDE Neon
sudo pacman -S img2pdf    # For Arch/Manjaro
sudo dnf install img2pdf  # For Fedora

If you want to convert an image or multiple images to pdf there are plenty of tools available that are beginner friendly with a dedicated GUI. If the issue is that you can’t print (not print to pdf in other words convert to pdf) multiple images then that’s a different story. IMHO, that’s a pretty niche feature to add to a lightweight image viewer which is already feature packed for a simple image viewer.
