>GraphicConverter isn't scriptable in any sense.  I just checked, and it doesn't even have an aete.  However, it does have it's own internal batch conversion facility, which, if your needs are mechanical enough, works well and quickly.  It wasn't very flexible when I last used it, but that was years ago.

GraphicConverter starts to support it from version 3.8 on (beta at the moment)

Photoshop actions won't help much.
You can't batch a conversion to JPEG because this involves a "Save As ..."
dialog which is not usable within those action (PS 5.5, checked with Support)


>Someone has mentioned clip2gif, which is a good solution.

yes for MacPerl programmers
