thumbnails of BMP files not showing
« on: July 02, 2006, 05:30:01 AM »
hi
I tried to search this forum but found no solution to this just v@no suggesting a guy to add bmp.htm file in the media directory copying jpg.html file, that I sorted out myself. It is now accepting the bmp to add it in the database, also shows picture when go to it but it does not generate thumbnails when try to autogenerate thumbnails. Simply says no thumbnails found for bmp files. how to fix this?

BMP format is not ment to be used on web...4images does not support auto-thumbnail for bmp.

PNG on other hand is supported and it is the same lossless format as BMP but its compressed, which is more efficient and more usefull.
