Imdisplay Problem

Post by jan36 »

Hello
After installing ImageMagick-6.4.8-2-Q16-windows-dll.exe, whenever i try to do "imdisplay logo.gif"i am getting this error:

IMDisplayDoc function [DoReadImage] reported an error.
imdisplay.exe: no decode delegate for this image format
'C:\Users\Jan\logo.gif' @ constitute.c/ReadImage/526


Do I need to install something else. This error is for every image(when i open any image directly on imdisplay). I already reinstalled it 5 times but same problem everytime. Im using windows Vista Home Basic

We recently upgraded the compiler for ImageMagick to Visual Studio 2008 and its possible we need to include additional dependent libraries for Vista Basic. Bring up a Command Prompt window and type
  • convert logo: logo.png
    identify -verbose logo.png
What these commands work? If not, what does it report?

The latest release of ImageMagick is 6.4.8-3. Can you install it and see if the problem persists?

Still the same problem after installing latest version.

Nope that command(identify -verbose logo.png) give me the following error
identify: unable to open image `logo.png': No such file or directory @ blob.c/Op
enBlob/2403.
.

Im using it with PHP, but it never creates any image (tried some eg from sitepoints). Using phpinfo() gives me following
