The situation is the same as in the beginning of this thread. The images are simple jpeg-images and the failure happens to any image. See my tests using the same image over and over, it eventually failed every time. I use ImageMagick to add annotations to the images taken automatically every few ...

I am still getting this error now and then. Last time today, causing again some images lost as the script failed. For me it happens after many thousands of images processed by the same VB script. Has anything being done that may affect this (memory leak?) failure? Should I install a newer version ...

And you have ImageMagick-6.7.2-6-Q16-windows-dll.exe ? This is strange. I just ran thge script again and it failed after 21429 cycles.
Is there anything I can do to help locating the problem?

Thank you for trying! So you are not running the script under Windows? I have Win XP sp3 on the both computers. Because of camera hardware etc. I cannot choose any other operating system. I have tried both re-using and deleting the object in the loop, neither works. Is there any way to talk with the ...

I upgraded to ImageMagick-6.7.2-6-Q16-windows-dll.exe The new test code using "logo:" as the input file. Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0 Dim img Set img = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1") dim msgs,n n=0 do while true n=n+1 wscript.echo n msgs = img.Convert("logo:","-draw=text 0,5 '12345 ...

very good. I will update and run the tests again.

One suggestion however is to do a 'fake' run with less options and see if you can track down exactly what option is causing the memory leak. Hello Anthony! Good suggestion. I tried to remove as many options as possible and still get the error. The simplest I could get was this: msgs = img.Convert ...

I'm not familiar with using IM and VB but I'd say that the problem is that you aren't destroying the ImageObject each time around the loop. I suspect that the image object is growing larger by one image on each pass through the loop until you run out of ram. Pete Thanks Pete! This is a good ...

I get repeatable failure in imagemagick object in Windows XP. I am running following script: Dim img Set img = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1") do while true n=n+1 jpeg="20110308-070845UTC.jpg" timestamp="'"+cstr(n)+"'" msgs = img.Convert(jpeg,"-font=C:\Windows\fonts\arial.ttf ...
