the BUG section of pipefile(1) agrees that an fs is the right way. i
wonder if there's a general conversion fs; maybe by giving it the
filter for the conversion (e.g. "jpg -c").
for an operating model, wouldn't something like lnfs(1) work better?
convert-jpegs /usr/glenda/jpegs
ls /usr/glenda/jpegs
pawn.jpg
cat /usr/glenda/jpegs/pawn.jpg.9
then in convert-jpgs
if found pawn.jpg.9 return contents
if not look for pawn.jpg
if found generate pawn.jpg.9 from pawn.jpg.9 and return contents
if not error not found
