The idea is nice. Here are some remarks: 1. Before trying for the daemon try to create a program! 2. The conversion should be loss-less (this is difficult!). For example, conversion of bitmap to png or xpm is not lossy but conversion to jpeg is. 3. After the program is working you can try to augment it using FUSE. 4. There could be the option of not doing the conversion if it is not possible --- in this case there are two choices (left to the user), either not provide any file at all or provide the original file unchanged. > The aim of this project to remove non-standard and royalty based > format from earth.

Trying to maintain "purity" in this context may be difficult.
