I'll try to remember to play with my QT100 tomorrow, but I *think*
GraphicConverter can deal with the native format. I'm not sure if you
need the QT software installed (possibly, and then GC just uses the hooks
enabled via the QT extensions), but even if that is so, GC has some half
way decent automation abilities, so you may be able to use it to automate
your jobs.
If it can read them, you may be able to ask the author (Lemke Software)
how he did it and that may help with a Linux tool (unless he requires the
QT extensions, then you are just SOL for Linux)
