5450: uploading wallpaper

I have a question about uploading wallpaper (and ringtones) to my LG 5450.

I use BitPim, and have had no trouble downloading pictures to my computer.

It's a little trickier uploading, and I followed these instructions:

http://members.shaw.ca/lg5450/guide.html

They were very helpful.

But I had trouble near the end...

The .desc file the webpage's author gives for download is designed for a png file. If you're not using a png, you are to change the .desc file (in Hackman Hex editor) to the appropriate file (jpg for example). He shows a page in Hackman where this option is obvious, but the version of Hackman I downloaded is newer, and this is not obvious. I'm not a whiz when it comes to computers, and was unable to figure out how to modify the .desc file using Hackman.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks !

Also, I forgot to mention, it is possible that the Decimal > Hexidecimal calculator I used isn't accurate. The one linked to in the "members.shaw" website is no longer available. I searched for and found 3 of them, and used the 2 that gave the same answer on conversion. However, I got a 5 digit answer "24B0A", so entered it in Hackman as if it was "024B0A".

Could anywone recommend a Decimal > Hexidecimal calculator that is know to be accurate ?

I used: http://www.wswise.com/index.php?&sectionid=60
and: http://www.jlion.com/Tools/bcalc/bcalc.aspx
and found they correspond.

In Hackman you need to scroll to the right (there will be another column there and in there u will see image/png all spanced out) to change the png to whatever you need to change it to. Also, I just used the windows calculator to get the hex numbers. When you open the calculator, click on view and choose scientific. Then make sure the Dec radio button is selected, enter the number, and the click on the Hex radio button. The calculator will convert the number for you. Finally, when you do get your Hex number, if the number is less than 6 digits, assume that there are zeros (0's) infront of the number. Good luck!
