Very easy to use is this small Windows tool.

Well, let's end this discussion... I'll add optional support for additional formats in the future, but I can't promise by when (given the many things on the TODO list and the limited time I have right now). Until then, please convert your images to PNGs .

On Linux/UNIX I'd suggest ImageMagick's 'convert' for this, which is easily scriptable. And Anna gave an example for Windows.

I've actually started adding support for this (WIP)... mainly preparations and a dialog-framework to set up the "active image formats" and their priorities per artwork class.

This will include support for SVG, BTW. Packagers should thus start adding the QtSvg module (QtSvg4.dll).

FastStone Image Viewer has a nice batch convert feature which can be accessed by clicking tools

Yeah, looks like a nice tool for Windows!

That's mostly working now in SVN r5110 (not for software-snapshots yet, but soon as well, and the image checker needs an update too). It's still WIP-ified and may have bugs, but it seems to work fine... if someone wants to try it, build with "WIP=1" on the make command line. You'll find a button called "Select image formats" on the Front-end -> Files / Directories tab. Click it to set up active formats and their priorities.

Some updates (SVN r5112): The image checker should work correctly now as well, honoring the format settings you've made.

Next up is software-snaps and QMC2 Arcade...

@Rene, in qmc2 have any filter for exclude or include games from game list, i wanna exclude pinmame, gambling games and etc etc
Ask for qmc-mame

Well, there's a category filter you could use for QMC2 Arcade... for QMC2's main GUI, there's a plan for a reg-exp filter which will allow you to filter whatever you'd want (provided the data is part of the game/machine list). But that's not implemented yet.
