Batch convert
improve output readability

Suggestion A - plain text

• use emoji
  - mainly to display status (there are few different tick marks and crosses vailable)
  - maybe replace some other symbols (eg arrow)

• align text to grid with spaces/tabs
  - mainly text in summary. Aligning Image details and Comment do not worth the hassle.

*** not sure if 'loading' is still in use as I only saw it on some screenshots


Suggestion B - html

• add html support (can be a checkbox in settings [plain/html output])
  to expand formating capabilities to:
  - table structure
  - text weight

• Some parts can be grouped and rotated.
  Not sure how 'Extracted pages' fits there though.
