Anyone, know how or found any documents to convert a batch of .bmp to png format? I've attempted to manually do this, but it's taking some time..

Jus' throwing it out there. Uses imagemagick and a [in this case] bourne-compatible oneliner.

for f in *.bmp; do convert $f 'echo $f | sed 's/bmp/png/''; done

You can write perl scripts that interact with the gimp and make it do various commands.
A basic tutorial can be found here :: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Perl/
Its a VERY powerful (albeit pretty complicated) tool and you can use it to do some nifty things like automating database driven re-coloring of individual layers inside images created from script-fu and then saving them directly onto a webserver..

It's totally possible within the gimp (along with a whole other slew of other cool scriptable things) You can write perl scripts that interact with the gimp and make it do various commands.
