Thanks snibgo,

Yes, I was aware of the ren command, and have used it to solve my problem. I was showing the second mogrify command to emphasize the fact that the -format switch is applying the right format in each command.

There is a difference between file format and file extension... That's why ...

It seems the test1.BMP3 file that is produced is in a valid BMP3 format, so it's just the file extension that is invalid.

So, I can do my batch conversion, and then batch rename by doing this:
mogrify -format BMP3 test*.png
mogrify -format bmp test*.BMP3

But that's going to take twice as long ...

I've got a series of PNG images that I need to convert to BMP version 3. I have a windows app that won't tolerate BMP in version 4.

I've read the BMP info and I can successfully use convert to achieve the desired result, but I can't seem to find a way to do the same using mogrify. I've got hundreds ...
