Honestly I would be surprised if the compatibility of Office 2007 with modern Office is actually better than Only Office or even LibreOffice these days. Perhaps Open Office is still worse.
I love ImageMagick despite its quirks; but then again I do not use it for professional use (well I do as a dev but I’m not a photograph or anything). What does XNViewMP does that ImageMagick doesn’t ?
Because at first glance it seems much worse - it has a graphical UI for one thing which seems inappropriate for the usecases I see ImageMagick being used for.
Also that Filelist Creator thing has existed on unix since the 70s; it’s called “find”, “ls”, and “awk”.
Try XNViewMP for yourself. You will know quickly about its feature set. Read their website and documentation. ImageMagick is pretty meh in comparison. I once tried converting WebP images with trying to preserve metadata, but could not.
Also try Filelist Creator, the ease of use with GUI is incredibly painless, and it allows a lot of options and export file formats.
For the Filelist thing I prefer CLI tools generally (and all the export formats I’ve seen in the features seem perfectly doable through them); but your answer about XNViewMP definitely has merits, thanks ! I’ll take a look at it
Can the Filelist alternative do things like drag drop files and folders quickly, or toggle column attributes, change byte units and other things? You could try it to see functionality differences. Because I think things like file management and manipulation is better served with GUI than TUI/CLI, but its your choice.
I made a recent post of closed source Android apps I like, with explanations. https://lemmy.ml/post/2768094

OpenOffice is pretty much dead, I don’t think it even supports docx files.
You should not be surprised. 2021 does not have that many things added to it over 2007. A lot of it is things like dark mode.
Based.
