imagemagick files missing

[syadmin]

hi guys,

One of my developers was using "ImageMagick-6.8.9-8-Q16-x64-dll.exe" but we are facing the issue of high CPU usage so we tried upgrading to the latest version of imagemagick "ImageMagick-6.9.1-2-Q16-x86-dll.exe" however in the latest version magickcmd.exe file is missing. How would we go about using the functionality without magickcmd?

Instead of "MagickCmd convert xxxx yyyy" you should use "convert xxxx yyyy". In what kind of situation are you using MagickCmd?

hi we are using it in the following code where we were calling magiccmd so now hwo would i call the below in the latest version?

System.Diagnostics.Process proc2 = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
try
{

proc2.StartInfo.Arguments = “convert "logo.jpg" "logo.png”;

proc2.StartInfo.FileName = “C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-6.8.9-Q16\\MagickCMD.exe”;
proc2.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
proc2.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc2.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
proc2.Start();

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Exceptions.WriteExceptionLog(ex);
}
finally
{
proc2.Dispose();
}

Instead of calling MagickCMD.exe you should call convert.exe and don't specify convert in the arguments. And since you seem to be using .NET you might also want to take a look at the wrapper that I created that does not require you to install ImageMagick on the server.
