Is there an app that will convert Windows .CAM image files?
 

I'm trying to find software that will convert Windows .CMP image files to something more Linux friendly. I tried ImageMagick but not GIMP.
Saw something called ReaConverter but it's not in the PCLinuxOS repo.
Thanks for any suggestions.

If these are the types of files you are describing, qvplay may help: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2664

Edit: The web seems to suggest that simply renaming the file extension to .jpeg works on windows - you might try that first.

It is a CMP file. My mistake. I will try renaming it. graphicsmagick hasn't worked on it. Thanks.

And what is a CMP file? Here I see four different types of CMP:

1. Windows Connection Manager profile;
2. HotDocs clause component file;
3. Solid Edge Wire Harness file;
4. Generic CADD component file.

Which one is yours?

My guess is .cmp - Microsoft SharePoint Content Migration Package

The files should be full of text.

Then I doubt ReaConverter would help either. I can convert the Generic CADD component file (#4 in the list above, vector graphics) to SVG.

I'm not able to upload the file here. "not an image file". Not sure where I could upload it. email might work.

I could email a small example.

Is there an app that will convert Windows .CMP image files?
 

I'll check back later. Thanks.

What is the output of file your_file.cmp?

[@localhost gm]$ file 0960217A.CMP
0960217A.CMP: data
[@localhost gm]$ gm identify 0960217A.CMP
gm identify: No decode delegate for this image format (0960217A.CMP).
gm identify: Request did not return an image.
[@localhost gm]$ file --mime-encoding 0960217A.CMP
0960217A.CMP: binary
[@localhost gm]$ gm display 0960217A.CMP
gm display: No decode delegate for this image format (0960217A.CMP).
gm display: Unable to load font (-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1).

I doubt these are SharePoint CMPs then. file should have recognized them as Microsoft cabinet files. See explanations here.

Could it be a Discorp CMP image then? NConvert should be able to recognize it. But they usually end in .dcmp.

No problem - hope you get it fixed. :)

Found XNconvert in the repo. Will give it a try.

It failed saying "not a picture"

You can still try cabextract and/or gcab on it for the unlikely case it is a Microsoft cabinet, but wasn't recognized by file.

You can also try 7z if it's compressed in format recognized by 7z.

Newer versions of General CAPP use different format. I downloaded some and they show this:
I hope files in their old format (CMP) would show something similar.

Here they give more possibilities for what .cmp could mean.
