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.

just showing how complicated CLI can be.

LOL. Supposed coders and their fear of commandlines.

.. that it needs a precompiled tool and dependencies and learning make just proves my point..
You are mixing things up. png2prg 1.2 is the precompiled tool that will run an any OS, it has literally zero dependencies, it's static binary.
Just run "png2prg.exe bla.png" and you will get a bla.prg with the gfx data (koala, hires, chars or sprites).

For compiling Krilllloader, you need dependencies installed, not to be compared with a simple gfx converter.

Using commandlines != coding though.

I disagree, bash is turing-complete :)

Yeah, I know, but reading readme-files, typing "make", googling error messages and installing dependencies doesn't seem very much like coding to me.

The tool was found. Questions were answered.

I'm glad Wotnau doesn't waste his life here and does something creative on C64 instead.

Time to close.

I wasn't asking for myself. And this was not aimed at you but at everyone not empathic enough to imagine, that there might be self-taught c64 coders that never actually were programmers for living and commandline is a "distant" concept to them. I think, in my honest opionion, that I was polite in that aspect, because if you look at this debate from distance, there is no real help in the rest of this thread. I admit, that I contributed to that too.

p.s.: And you are right. I forgot to thank everybody who helped. So. Thank you guys!

I thought the usual process was to be a self-taught C-64 coder first (in teenage years) to eventually become a professional programmer later, building on that C-64 knowledge. Not the other way around. =)
