Support for ARW file to JPG conversion via context menu

[BoBBer446]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I propose adding a feature to PowerToys that allows users to convert ARW files (the RAW format of Sony cameras) directly to JPG files via the context menu. This would enable users to quickly and easily convert RAW images to the widely used JPG format without having to open additional software or applications.

Scenario when this would be used?

Description

I propose adding a feature to PowerToys that allows users to convert ARW files (the RAW format of Sony cameras) directly to JPG files via the context menu. This would enable users to quickly and easily convert RAW images to the widely used JPG format without having to open additional software or applications.

Expected Behavior

When a user selects an ARW file in File Explorer and opens the context menu, an option titled "Convert to JPG" or similar should appear. After the user selects this option, the selected ARW file should be converted to a JPG file with appropriate settings.

Scenario

This feature would be particularly useful for photographers who use Sony cameras and frequently need to convert RAW images to JPG for sharing or editing purposes. By integrating this functionality directly into PowerToys, users can streamline their workflow and save time by avoiding the need to open separate image editing software for conversion tasks.

Supporting information

Adding support for ARW to JPG conversion via the context menu aligns with the goal of PowerToys to enhance productivity and efficiency for power users. This feature has been requested by several users on forums and social media platforms, indicating a demand for this functionality within the PowerToys community.
