I've done this three times on different test sites and the same result each time...
I upgrade the old database and follow all instructions. The new site works perfectly except for maybe 4 or 5 product listings where the images (all bmp) do not show. The 150 other product/images using bmp all show. I try to upload a new bmp image to the product...it won't take unless it's a jpeg or other format.
When doing the database upgrade it mentions, that 3 or 4? files or records were skipped...or something to that effect. Is this why I'm having this problem? what would cause these files to be skipped? I have done this three times and each time, it skips a few of the records when using the database upgrade program in zc_install.
Should I be concerned if everything else is working well?

Re: .bmp Images not working after upgrade
Ya, .bmp images are largely obsoleted in modern web use -- primarily because they're humongous because they don't do any compression.
Best approach: convert those images to .jpg or .png
Interim: Until you get around to converting those images, you can edit your /images/.htaccess file and add bmp to the list of allowed filetypes..

Re: .bmp Images not working after upgrade
I see. It's what the manufacturer gave us.
Okay, so this is how it reads before adding bmp
<FilesMatch ".*\.(jpe?g|JPE?G|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF)$" >
I would just make it look like this?
<FilesMatch ".*\.(jpe?g|JPE?G|gif|GIF|png|bmp|BMP|PNG|swf|SWF)$" >

Re: .bmp Images not working after upgrade
Total Image Converter from CoolUtils will batch-change images. So if you have 100,000 BMP images - and you want them all saved to JPG - then run them through Total Image Converter. It will also optimize the JPG's and compress them to a desired level.
Then - use ImageHandler 4 to further "re-work" your images.

Re: .bmp Images not working after upgrade
Do you know of any free webdesign WYSIWYG packages out there? I purchased a package but misplaced the DVD and want to have something on my laptop.
