screenshot format
I don´t know if this topic is right here...
If I make a sreenshot, it is saved as a .bmp picture.
I don´t like it. It only takes much capacity from my PC
And I don´t want to change the format everytime.
Every screenshot has about 2,3 Megabytes!:(
There are other things I have to do
Why not jpg or another compressed-format?
(I use BfW 1.0)

First read, then think. Read again, think again. And then post!
Maybe they should be saved as PNG images if that doesn't cause huge problem with SDL. I'm rather sure that libpng is already required.

How to make changing picture format less annoying:
On MS Windows, I have installed the ImageMagick command-line graphic tool. Then in the Explorer file type menu I choose extension "BMP" and add a new action:
After this, I simply right-click a BMP file, choose "Convert to PNG" from menu, and it is converted; for example "picture.bmp" to "picture.bmp.png". Then, I delete the old file.
I have also similar actions to convert to JPG (one to 90% quality, another to 75% quality), etc. I think this is as simple as possible without using the command line. A nice command-line solution could be to make a script that converts all BMP files in current directory to PNG files.

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.2.0-Q16\convert.exe" %1 -quality 90 %1.png
