I'm trying to save a surface image to file and figured out that using .bmp as extension, gm saves a correctly formed bitmap file. The documentation doesn't mention this possibility, but instead tells that only png files can be saved this way.
Moreover, after some simple tests it seems that saving a bmp file this way takes MUCH less time than a png.

Does anybody know more about this? Is it ok to use bmp instead of png to speed up the export of the surface to file? Is this something that will be removed in the next versions of the program? What about other file formats?

Thanks in advance
