yep, you'd have to change the toolkit code (imagemagick, netpbm, gd).

but i'd keep it the way it is. it makes sense that jpg thumbs will give you the best quality for jpg originals, same for gif and png.

It might be worth explaining *why* you want to blindly convert jpeg -> gif, because *generally* it is a very silly idea. Beyond silly, maybe bordering on... extremly silly. If you just want to convert a jpeg to gif because you WANT a gif file (ie, you don't want *EVERY* image in your gallery to be a gif), you should use a tool designed for that.

this is *why*:
I want view my gallery in cellphone, but some WAP browser in cellphone does not support jpg. This is the reason of this topic.
