Research direction
Start at the Right Click File > Manage menu and trace how existing file-management actions are implemented. Check how the application currently handles filetype conversion and whether it can preserve or overwrite the original. Done means a selected file can be converted to another supported type from the menu, with the chosen original-file behavior working consistently.
