I am far from an expert but maybe I can be helpful.
I found an approach that worked for me. I converted my files (I "only" have about 200 files) on my PC. I downloaded imagemagick and spent a while converting the file parameters previously posted way back in this thread into a batch file that converts all the pics in an directory to the proper format. I have not had an image lockup the screensaver since.
Place the files to be converted into a folder. The filenames can't have spaces.
Assuming you have windows, install Imagemagick from
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/bi...es.php#windows
If you don't use windows there is a Mac version, but I am not sure if that version works exactly the same.
When installing make sure the options “Add application directory to your system path”
And “Install legacy utilities (e.g. convert)” are checked.
Edit that attached batch file (in notepad) to match your drive letter and directory with the images to be converted.
Copy the attached gif to a sub directory named ColorMap.
Run the batch file and it will hopefully convert all the pics in the directory and save the new version is a sub directory called "converted". The new files will have the png extension appended to the name of the file (name.jpg.png). I never did figure out how to fix that or to have it handle spaces in the filename.
