 |
|
Does anyone know if there's any image browser/viewer in the portage tree with proper BMP support? I love GQview but when it comes to BMP files, it frequently displays them with the wrong colors (red becomes green, blue becomes red, everything is completely messed up). I'm currently looking at a directory of 262 BMP files, none of which will display properly in GQview. They look perfectly fine once I load them into GIMP, but it's really hard to tell which ones I want to load when their previews are so screwed up I can't tell for sure what I'm looking at. Nautilus would work, if it didn't do the same thing GQview does.
So far, GIMP, Galeon, and Firefox are the only programs I can find that can display these BMP files correctly, but none of these have a thumbnail view of the directory, and I need that to manage wading through 262 files. Does anyone know of a program that can properly handle BMP files and has a way to view a directory full of pictures as thumbnails? |

Why dont you just use
from imagemagick to make them pngs? BMP is a awful format. png is lossless, compressed and does not mix up color channels ...
It would use less HD space too ...
Hint:
| Code: | for FILE in *.BMP
do
convert ${FILE/.BMP} ${FILE}.png
done |
