OK folks! My second (and last) question of the day:

* I have hundreds of BMP files. I want to convert them all to PNG.

* Any way to do a quick, easy batch conversion from BMP to PNG? I don't
really want to open up each image and do a "Save As" manually!

ImageMagick is a bit arcane, but useful if you know anything about DOS batch programming:

http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-6.3.1-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe

I think the following would do the job nicely, provided the bmp files are all in the same directory (copy and paste into bmptopng.bat):

for %i in (*.bmp) convert %i %~ni.png

Your mileage may vary; I'm a UNIX person, and not too familiar with the DOS syntax.
