<TITLE>RE: [SWLUG] BMP to JPG</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I installed Imagemagick and tried the suggested method:</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>for i in *.bmp</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>do</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>convert $i `basename $i .bmp`.jpg</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>done</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and, after a few tweaks (the filenames contain spaces and the occasional "!", so I had to use double-quotes and variables substitution), managed to get it working. It converted some 300 bitmaps to jpeg in less than a minute - cool! I was also able to save some 400MB of disk space too!</FONT></P>
