    • XNViewMP (cross platform) - no alternative, ImageMagick is shit
    • R-Studio (cross platform) - no, Testdisk is not even a fraction as good
    • MS Office Word/Excel/PowerPoint - obvious compatibility reasons, I use 2007 in Windows XP VM with no internet
    • Filelist Creator (cross platform) - no alternative
    • 1DM+ on Android over Aria2App, former can video grab from webpages like how IDM/XDM work on desktop, no other app can
    • Snapseed - no alternative that is as quick and simple

    I made a recent post of closed source Android apps I like, with explanations. https://lemmy.ml/post/2768094

      ImageMagick is shit

      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
