A quick question about convert

Post by Esperanza »

Installing into Win 7 64 bit VM has me stumped. Normally I am a linux user but the PCLOS repo version of IM is ancient.

ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-Q16-x64-dll.exe file size 23.8M

Where is convert.exe / mogrify.exe ...etc?

Can someone please tell me which directory the installer puts these files? or what is used in their place? Even monitoring an installation fails to show their location (if they exist)

No such problem with the portable version

ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-portable-Q16-x64.zip file size 79.2M

At least I know the files are there.

All I can tell you is that in ImageMagick 7, magick replaces convert and all other modules such as mogrify, montage, identify must be prefaced with magick. See http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli. Sorry I am not a Windows user. But note that on Linux, the ImageMagick versions are rarely updated. The software is patched and the patch date is what is important.

At least on Linux, the convert command is a symlink to the magick binary. You could just rename the binary, or make windows symlinks to it.

My guess is that the binary inspects argv[0] to see what its name is, and then does the right thing.
