Is there a way the users can upload a .bmp via photo?
auto-convert to .jpg would be perfect.
Hi there,

Is there a way the users can upload a .bmp via photo?

Unfortunately, currently we do not have this features because .bmp extension is not supported.

auto-convert to .jpg would be perfect.

I have issued this at http://tracker.stackideas.com/ . We will see if we can fix this issue in next release version. .

that would be great.. alot of games use .bmp as their ONLY screenshot type. I assume due to quality. Sadly most users are too niave to know how to convert and if they do know they don't want to be bothered.

Hello Troy,

Converting bmp file requires huge memory and 80% of the time converting bmp would fail on shared hosting environments. Bitmap files are usually large and when you try to load it as a resource on PHP, most of the time it'll just snap with memory_limit exceptions.
