There is an 'ICC conversion' tool in the batch queue. Depending on your
workflow, that might be just what you need. For me it would be something
like:
- Select images to upload, 
- put in batch queue 
 - add tools to use:
        'ICC conversion', 'resize', 'unsharp mask', and 'convert to jpeg'.

I work in RAW and store edited full-sized images as PNG, to be converted 
to proper format when output is needed (web, print, slideshow, ...).
