3. To use the program, run python main.py from the command line. This will display the main menu
4. Enter the number of the conversion you want to perform, followed by the full path to the file or directory you want to convert. The program will then convert the file(s) and save them in the same directory as the original file(s) with a new extension.

Reasoning and Intentions Behind the Project

This project aims to be a one-stop solution for various file conversion needs. With a focus on modularity, each conversion type is implemented as a pluggable component, allowing for easy extension and integration into other projects. The goal is to empower developers and users alike to build faster and smarter.

Future plans include adding automated webhook file pushing via Discord and potentially other services to make the tool even more versatile.
