Converting GFX question
Asking for friend. Quote follows:
---
Morning! Does anyone of you please know a Window C64 converter that would not do any processing and just save data in C64 format?
What's my problem: I prepared a 4-color (so that I can convert to multicolor sprites) picture in Gimp and then ran it through a converter, which decided to just add a 5th color. 🤦♂️

Thank you for quick help everybody. |

Quoting WotnauAs it looks like it needs command line input, I won't be able to use it (see my post on use case and user above), but if someone more PC literate finds this thread later, it may serve them just great. :) Come on, what's so hard about using the command line to run a program with a few simple options? :) |

I can tell you that there were times when I preffered Tortise GIT to command line, and still do in some cases with GIT. For someone who never used it and does't know how to ask when there are problems, it's something hard to adopt. I still ignore most of the verbal output that some commandline thingies puke out on screen. Offtopic: By the way, speaking about command line thingies. DDEV (solely using command line interface) in combination with WSL2 and Docker is a swiss knife for local development, no more local linux server running on local network, that was a hell for me I hated everything about it, including git conflicts caused by samba all the time. I love the times I live in. I love how chatGPT/AI can help you with coding (and not only). Did I say I love the times we live in? Yeah I did, fine. Just a sidenote, I find it quite absurd that there is a war nearby, based on utterly ridiculous accusations and claims. I can't believe it's happening with all these information technology advances. We are so clever and dumb at the same time. Fucking hell. End of rant. |

do you remember a time when you turned on your computer, all you got was a basic prompt? :P |

If you don't like command lines, use batches
- not that this really makes a hell of a difference :D |

Refusing to learn stuff is just lazy. Of course it's easier to demand a dragndrop thing than to spend 5 minutes learning how to use command prompt things. But cmon. It's not rocket science. I don't buy the "fact" that someone is completely unabled to use or learn how to use a command prompt. Except for my dad. Actually he should not be allowed to own a computer at all. |

ask anyone who tried to compile your loader and failed =) |

Quoting Oswaldask anyone who tried to compile your loader and failed =) Strawman argument. Using a precompiled tool like Burglar's has a lot fewer likely breaking points than building something yourself. =)
(Besides, some people were quite delighted how easy building the loader is once you have the dependencies in place and know how those standard tools like make etc. work. =D) |

nope, thats not a strawman. also that it needs a precompiled tool and dependencies and learning make just proves my point. its not about saying your loader sucks, I view it as one of the biggest achievment of mankind, just showing how complicated CLI can be. |

They can be complicated, but it's not the case this time.
What triggers me are people who ask for help, and when they get it they start to moan that they won't use it because some stupid excuse. |

LOL. Supposed coders and their fear of commandlines. |
