It would be nice to be able to do that on the fly when requested.  Converting
files when uploaded would break some deep-linking applications.  Converting
bmp's to jpeg would be harmful to certain types of images, like Sprite Sheets or
even LDraw renderings.  It is unfortunate that some users upload regular
pictures in bmp format though.  Perhaps that could be a moderator initiated
action.  Another related problem is midleading file extensions.  Currently that
breaks thumbnail generation.  I'm leaning twards renaming files to the correct
extension.

(...) Converting to PNG would avoid those problems. The compression ratio generally isn't as good as JPEG but it's a heckuvalot smaller than a BMP. Steve (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
