And is it good, Fons?

It is pretty basic but will do the job!

Locating the folder to use for import is a mess -- if you wish to change from the current, you have to return to the front page :( White balance tool, the centrepiece of any RAW converter as far as I'm concerned, is hidden unless you "by accident" open the Color tab. No noise reduction apparently? etc. Very lightweight,very basic, but for once it does work across networks albeit slowly.
It can be installed in a Linux box as well, although didn't like my Linux Mint -- installed, but only ran once, then vanished into cyberspace. Perhaps it'll fare better under Ubuntu, will give this a spin later today.

I would suggest those interested to at least watch the youtube video,

I am running win 11, and a linux ubuntu distro, on a 2nd machine albeit in progress.
So far i have only run a simple conversion, but want to check it out some more.
What appeals me its lightweight and free and under active development.
