Howto write 8 Bit per pixel BMP files with gimp

I have a software, that only works on Microsoft BMP files with 8 bits per pixel and 256 colour lookup table.

How can I create such files with gimp.

I already tried "Indexed" but without success.

Best regards: Rainer

What is the target program and what does it do? Perhaps there is another program that will accomplish your objective without the BMP restriction.

On Linux systems IMageMagick will convert almost any format to almost any format but I sense you are not on LInux.

ImageMagick is available for _many_ platforms.

For Windows users I know you can do this conversion with Irfanview. Irfanview can open/read almost any image file. You can save as windows bmp with 8bpp and 256 colors. If you have a lot of images to convert, open Irfanview thumbnails, select the images, then do a batch conversion (B).
