Good to read that you could start XnView MP on your Mac.
There at least two ways to convert an image:
a.) Open image in XnView (image view mode) and then use "File > Save as.." and choose a file format.
b.) Batch conversion (In XnView browser select one or multiple files and then choose "Tools > Batch convert...". In panel "Format" you choose the desired format.

Could you please describe your steps to convert your sfw file? What is the exact text of the error message?

Thank you for your reply, Weinee3947.

From what I can read in your description, output folder and filename is not specified. Please try out the step-by-step description in How to batch convert and batch process with XnView MP. I cross my fingers that you succeed.

Thank you for another trial and reply, Weinee3947. "Nightmare" doesn't sound to good. :( Your description is a bit hard to follow and a detailed error message is missing. Could you perhaps take screenshots of the tab "Input", "Action" and "Output" of batch conversion plus the error message? A screen video would be even better. With that extra information we might find the reason of your current problem. ATM, this sounds much like a problem of "Access rights" to me.
