A worthwhile message on the Forum from Dilwyn.

Bob Spelten jr. has released version 1.05 of the BMP graphics viewer 
and converter, available from the Graphics page on my website at 
https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/graphics/index.html


Convert BMP graphics (from 24-bit to 1-bit types) to QL graphics files 
- screens, PIC files, PSA/PAC files, or Page Designer pages. Convert 
from QL graphics files to BMP (16-bit or 24-bit) for transfer to other 
systems. View files, convert QL file types and convert between screen 
modes.


The QL files can now be RLE compressed as PAC files, using similar 
compression to compressed GD2 sprites, thanks to routines from Per 
Witte. RLE compression under the operating system is normally only 
used for GD2 sprites.


There is a 'scaling' option to allow a picture being viewed to be 
resize to fit the window. And some support for Mode 12 (Thor XVI) 
screens and QDesign compressed _Pgn and mode 2 mono files.



Thanks.

Already using it :)
