Hi,

You could use "convert" from the ImageMagick suite and a small bash script like:

#!/bin/bash
for image in *.bmp; do
target=`echo $image | sed s/.bmp/.jpg/` convert $image $target
done

Or something similar.

Hi,

I have a bunch of bmp images that I want to convert to jpeg format. How can I do this without having to go thru each image at a time?

I'm running gimp on a unix platform.

use imagemagick, convert:

# this is ksh

for fn in *.bmp;do convert $fn ${foo#*.bmp}.jpg
done

mogrify -format jpg *.bmp

I'd recommend using GraphicsMagick instead of ImageMagick, too http://www.graphicsmagick.org

GraphicsMagick is designed for stability. You may even call it the stable release of ImageMagick.
According to their mission goal, the developers aim for:

- fewer crashes - fewer bugs
- consistent behaviour
- stable APIs

I'm all for stability, but I've never had any problems with ImageMagick, although I've not done anything too terribly complex. Mostly conversion from one format to another, adding frames to a bunch of images, combining images, adjusting brightness/contrast of images.

I've seen some of the problem myself, mainly corrupt images or options that behaved different in a previous release. I've heard of even more problems of the later kind, mainly in usenet posts.
