Big wish: bmp converter in editor

    Wouldn't be a scoop if the image uploader in ones editor could convert bmp to jpg? I would just love to save myself the trouble of going to an online converter several times daily. Screenshots are pretty common among bloggers! :-) What do you say, fellow bloggers? And WordPress staff? Please say something below. Some support would be nice! :-D)))

    The blog I need help with is universalgeni.wordpress.com.

    That would be ideal indeed. Alternatively you can use IrfanView or FastStone (free image view/modify programs) to saveas any image to any format you want, and in record time.

    Also Gimp is a free image editor that you might want to try. It's quite powerful too.

    I use one of the many free off-line image editing programs to presize every image I upload into the WordPress.com servers for display on my blog. I change .bmp files to .jpg files on my computer (windows XP), so this isn't an issue for me.

    Thanks, timethief. I know those programs and have had nearly all of them installed. But I'm lazy. I just use MSPaint and an online converter. :-) That's why I asked for a bump converter. Really would be the top. :-D)))

    This thread is now part of the ideas forum. I also corrected the headline error from "bump" to "bmp"
