MVE to MP4 Gnome File Manager Action

Adds a context menu to the Gnome File Manager for .mve & .MVE files (interplay video format)

Used to save space, but also to enable a minor project I have been wanting for a while to bring an old Windows game to Linux (technically to web, so any OS supporting HTML5 media)

Installing

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions
wget https://gist.github.com/Lewiscowles1986/3077e2dd0048be449854c93edee446a4/raw/3d99eb743c66c05fdb46dd7c51eeb2744cb2b64f/73301312-62b8-49b4-a0dc-43b9d077c283.desktop -O ~/.local/share/file-manager/actions/73301312-62b8-49b4-a0dc-43b9d077c283.desktop

Then open the gnome-filemanager as usual, navigate to a folder with .mve & .MVE files, right-click and select the context menu item
