retain size information.
If I can't use BMP files, what can I use when constructing Win side?
Jpegs are a nono for the obvious degradation issues
Unless you turn up quality to 100%.
That aside, Like probably many others here I'm exceedingly glad you did

Nice to know. I occasionally wonder if people would have been happy for
four years more work on the RISC OS version instead.
1) Yes I have DPScan for Windows through which I could and sometimes do
post (PSP) process the graphics to output 'em as Sprites... Okay for a
couple of illustrations but an extra load of work if there are a lot of
them required.
DPScan for Windows has a command line mode - alas it only permits load
anything and save as JPEG.
Presumably you could script the whole thing (in DPScan), with one of
those things that simulates clicks and key presses. There was one for
RISC OS (now free), and ISTR there is a good free one for Windows.
The RISC OS one is:

I might have a look at providing the .bmp filter for Windows, since that
