One problem I have with current code is that it selects the first path it finds in the converters graph without assessing theur quality. It would be nice to give weights to final formats (which is the best one for a given frontend?) and give also weights to converters (i.e. give a low weight if the conversion is lossy or slow).

Wouldn't it be possible for the frontends to report the formats they handle natively in a best-to-worse order? JMarc
