I apologise for my ignorance, but I thought a GUI was supposed to be a front-end that uses the original CLIs in the background. I suppose it isn't because FotoKilof merely supports a couple formats when ImageMagick supports over 200. May I ask why FotoKilof doesn't support more formats and/or why not all ImageMagick's features are supported?

Thank you for this issue. You are right, idea is GUI for cli backend of imagemagick.
Past version of FotoKilof used imagemagick for preview and was able to support most of formats supported by Imagemagick.
Because of poor performance under Windows, I use PIL for preview instead ImageMagick, because 99,99999% of my work is with JPG ad PNG files.

I have idea to rewrite preview to be more inteligent, eg. use PIL for JPG and PNG and imagemagick for others.
Second idea is use PIL for more processesing for JPG and PNG.

main problem is time. I think soon I will have more time for FotoKilof, to rewrite it
