I have a feature request: Would it be possible to perform output

May I file an enhancement at bugzilla? (I didn't find any dealing with
this)
Of course.
This is not difficult to do, in a way, and it should perhaps be
configurable via a preference. The "threads" are provided by the OS: On
Linux, it just means running the system command with "&". The downside
is that, as the code is currently configured, you don't get the error
messages, since the command is launched and then we go on to whatever
else we are doing: There's no "it's done" signal....
You might even be able to hack your way to this by defining the
converter using "&". It'd be worth trying.
