There is a converter in your GPL folder.... pbf2tga.exe open a DOS window, go to your GPL directory, and type pbf2ga GPLss01.pbf <enter> where GPLss01.pbf is your screenshot FredG

Hi there, suppose there are some people around who are familiar enough with DOS or VB programming to create a little DOS or VB utility that would help us convert the many screenshots we tend to take (at least at the beginning of the GPL-mania) into tga format. I'm sure this is very easy to do (especially in DOS), and it would be a nice tool. Mea***er
Meat and others. here is a really crude batch file that does the first 20 or so PBF files. edit it to make it do more or less. It isnt pretty but it does work.

Thanks, Fred, apart from many others I DO read ReadMe files and manuals (I know that ain't cool). What you describe is the hard way (already knew about that). I am looking for a way to convert, let's say, 50 screenshots at once. It'd take me an hour or so to retype the command for every screenshot....but thanks anyway. Nice racing!

Todd, here is another way that saves a lot of typing and does all the files in the directory for %%f in (GPLSS*.PBF) do PBF2TGA %%f (from the dos prompt just use %f if you do it manually as the %%f is only needed in batch files)
