Heh, I've seen this a bunch of times and it's of interest to me, but honestly? It's sooooo limiting by being an interface without a complementary command line tool. Like, I'd like to put this into some workflows but it doesn't really make sense to without using something like pyautogui. But maybe I'm missing something hidden in the documentation.
(Hi, dangerzone maintainer here)
There is indeed a dangerzone-cli tool¹, and it should be made more visible. We plan on updating/consolidating our docs in the foreseeable future, to make things clearer.
Also, plans are here to make it possible to use dangerzone as a library, which should help use cases like the one you mention.

How hard did you look the other times?
Not much further than their documentation, friend! But thanks for finding that, that's actually super helpful! I hope somebody puts in a pr for updating the documentation to make it clear what functionality their tool has.
I can show you the link for how to do that too if needed.

It seems to meant for end-users like journalists processing files individually like e-mail attachments.
It doesn't seem to be meant for usage at scale -- it's not for general-purpose conversion, as the resulting files are huge, will have OCR errors, etc.
I'm the target audience for this sort of tool. :)
