Hi,

I've been trying to find something on this but not had any luck:

I'm going to be uploading a lot of bmp files to my gallery and I'd like to have them auto converted to jpg files when they're uploaded (as bmp files are huge)

Is there a plugin that does this? I've had a look and can't see any config options for it.

Cheers!

what g2 does already is:
convert bmp to jpg and keep bmp as original, offering a "download original photo" link in addition to a jpg of the same size.

isn't that good enough?

g2 can do that only if the image toolkit modules installed support the bmp -> jpg operation.

Ah ha! After a bit of tinkering I found that I must have broke it myself...

I'd set image/bmp to be viewable which I think broke the auto convert.

I'd been having problems getting bmp's uploaded - turned out they were bigger than the php max file upload size.

*Sigh*

Thanks for the help.
