Hi,

if you have bmp images, then you can convert them to jpgs on your pc with some software easily.

BMPs are not used on internet ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format ) and adding them to the Phoca Gallery does not make any sense, as thumbnails are created by GD library on the server which then will have no memory for managing BMPs (because of their size) :-( :-(
If you find Phoca extensions useful, please support the project
