Drag and Drop Brn / Bmp Converter w/Source

[jmathies]

http://www.mathies.com/software/brnconvert.jpg

Drag and drop BMP or BRN files onto the main icon to convert to the other format.

Tested on: My Sprint HTC Touch

It's a bit more user friendly than the command line app, and also converts both ways - from bmp -> brn and from brn -> bmp.

Application (http://www.mathies.com/software/BrnConvertApp.zip)(requires .NET 2.0)
Source Code and VS 2005 Project (http://www.mathies.com/software/BrnConvert.zip)

Thx for this application. I will try it today. It looks very comfortable.

Edit: I tried it, and it´s very fast, also i can convert all files in one step. Very, very good.

Ok I must not be using my head. This is made to work on your computer right? You need the actual phone hooked up?

yeah it's a desktop app used in coverting the image files you'll need for customizing the cube.

Should make life a bit easier.

Thanks!

any one have problem using this program? I can load it without problem, but after I drag a file to it, it just apears almost the same as the 2nd pic in OP's post but without the preview and the progress bar. And no new file is generated then.

this just awesome, I don't know how I missed this app, it makes everything so easy, I'm surprised there isn't that many reply to this great little application.

ITS CLEARLY WRITEN TO DRAG AND DROP ON ICON NOT IN WHITE SPACE......HEHEHEHEEHE

[mtn_lion]

I can't get the .exe to run on my desktop, keep getting "program has encountered a problem..." WTF? Could it be 'cuz I have .Net 3.0?

[mtn_lion]

OK, it runs on another computer here, so no worries. But I get the same thing reported above--nothing happens--and I *AM* dragging onto the icon in Brn Converter. Any ideas?

[bullyfrog]

Yo, bully! Thanks for your post. The brnconverter does fire up on another computer here...but when I drag files to it, I just seem to get the big yellow exclamation mark. Any idea?

Hmm..not sure but it could be a permission problem. Just checking, but did you copy the brn from your touch to the PC. Then dragging the brn files from the PC into this proggie? You should see bmp files of the same name getting created in the directory where the pc's brn files are. If you've done all that, then i'm not sure..but probably the developer could shed some light..

[mtn_lion]

I take it all back--and you're right. I had the .brn's copied from the Touch, but into a network folder. Once I moved everything to a local drive, it works just fine. Live and learn. Thanks so much....

This little proggy is just the thing i needed. Din know it was so easy to use.
Was afraid that the images will suffer a loss thru the convertion but all turned out great. thx.

should i be installing the app. on my pc, because if so it does not open

[O'Neil MItchell]

App. will not insatll on my CDMA Telus touch (Vouge) error message

[nmesisca]

Do you have .Net Compact Framework 2 installed?

[O'Neil MItchell]

Should i be installing it on my PC or on the Touch

[O'Neil MItchell]

Got it downloaded, but when i tried to install i got this error message "A Newer version of the .NET Compact Frame is already installed, if you want to install this one you must first remove it " I cant find it in my remove programs list

[O'Neil MItchell]

OK i was able to find it in the registry, uninstall it and install the .Net Compact Framework 2. After all of that i still got the same error message while trying to install the BRN Converter. Any more ideas would be appreciated

[mtn_lion]

The brn converter runs on the desktop, not the handheld.

You need to have .Net Framework 2.0 installed *on the desktop.*

.Net *Compact* Framework is on the device--sounds like it's already installed. It isn't relevant to the brn converter.

Why doesnt the converted file open in photoshop. BRn->BMP views in windows pictures and fax viewer, but photohsop gives error : Could not complete your request because the file- format cannot parse the file. derf?

[Sponzert]

I have a strange problem. I copied all the BRN-files from \Windows to an folder on my storage card. When i look in that folder i see all the BRN-files. I copy that folder to my PC (Vista 32b) and when i open the folder i don't see any files. The folder looks empty. Can anyone explain this to me and tell me how to deal with this?

[sheaffej]

Great App! Thanks mate.

BTW for those who jump to the end of the forum:

Just download the app (first post) and unzip it on to your desktop. Then you'll have an .exe on your desktop. Click the .exe to launch the app on your desktop. Then drag a .bmp file (or .brn file) onto the window and it magically converts it to the other format.

Beautiful!

Note, this app requires your desktop to have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed. Since so many apps these days are written in .NET, you probably already have the framework installed.

[TrickerTreater]

I'd love to see a version of this for Mac or Unix. Anyone have the recompiled code or know of another .BRN veiwer on Mac?

I've tried everything from PhotoShop to Device Central to what-have-you.

Make sure you can view system and hidden files on your Vista machine.

I had to use irfranview to realize that the graphics programs wanted the converted files to be png not bmp. I renamed all the bmps to pngs and was then able to open in photoshop and revise them. Saved as bmp and I'm good.
