Add it to datas/mimetype.php
May the Source be with you!

This is incorrect, images should not be going through the mimetype.php check, they have a special check of their own.

Added 53 minutes later:

Actually, I forgot why its like that, its due to php's lack of a imagecreatefrombmp function.
Place this in your datas/mimetype.php at the bottom, this will allow your bmp's to work.

$mime_type['bmp'][]		= array('image/bmp', 'BM', '0', '0', '2', '0');

@kilandor:
Thnks,

You are right.. Maybe we should remove bmp as an supported mimetype ???
It is not an used web format..

anyway, more information here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromwbmp.php
Someone has made a custom: imagecreatefrombmp

Question, HOW can I remove .bmp from the supported pfs formats (I will remove it) ????

greets
