Identify does not display any result for bmp

[sim123]

I have installed IM 6.5.2-4 on MAC OS X 10.5.7 (Leopard) and on CentOS 5.0. I am trying to identify images generated by preview application, identify does not display any result in this case. Here is the link from Users forum:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13696

Earlier versions of IM could handle this case, is this a bug? Could some one please guide me if there is any problem with my configuration.

Thanks for the help and support.

We downloaded

• -rw-r--r-- 1 magick 45673 2009-05-14 17:25 PreviewImage.bmp
  -rw-r--r-- 1 magick 22372 2009-05-14 17:25 r.bmp

and we could display, convert, and identify both these images. We need to reproduce a problem before we can fix it.

If that is the case could you have two versions of IM installed, or the previous version was not cleaned up completely before the newer version installed?

fmw42 gave me another suggestion so posting that result, I hope it could give a clue:

I did have different versions of IM installed, however nothing is in my path, I tried cleaning all directories, however default might still be there, I have created a soft link for convert and identify in /usr/bin and accessing these via soft links. to uninstall IM do I need to manually remove everything one by one?

Thanks for the help.

It is not just the path,but also the library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) that must be looked at.
The right versions of librarys and coders must be used with the same version of the commands.

IN the source is a script "magick.sh" that is designed as a wrapper to allow you to use a specific command from the build directory without installing. It could be modified to automatically associated the right library with the command that is being run.

I have implements multiple versions of IM on a single machine (one system and one personal), but I ensure I do not have both in active use simultaneously, as that will produce weird and unexpected errors.

[sim123]

I installed a new version of IM (6.5.2-4) on fresh CentOS VM image and still getting same result. Below is my path variable settings

Code: Select all

[root@localhost temp]# echo $MAGICK_HOME
/opt/ImageMagick-6.5.2-4
[root@localhost temp]# echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/ImageMagick-6.5.2-4/lib
[root@localhost temp]# echo $PATH
/opt/ImageMagick-6.5.2-4/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/vmware/bin:/opt/vmware/bin:/root/bin

I took IM from

Code: Select all

wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.net/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.5.2-4.tar.gz

if it the correct version? if it is what else could I do to make it work? Thanks for your time and help.

[sim123]

Can anyone please provide me binary for CentOS 5.2 32 bit, so I could try that out? because all my binaries does not seems to handle this case?

Thanks for the help.

[sim123]

I again tired all versions of IM available on ImageMagick.net and identify does not work on preview generated bmp.

I am testing identify r.bmp ( a preview generated bmp), everything else like convert and identify for rose.bmp works. convert r.bmp info: works too (Please see my earlier posts).

I want to convince on that, there may be some problem with my environment or Leopard Preview but just one thing bothers me; why IM 6.4.6-8 is able to identify the same bmp image and displaying the result and later versions can not do that. In 6.4.9-10 till 6.5.2-0 convert is broken and gives an error message if you try to convert a preview generated bmp, that is fixed after 6.5.2-2 but identify is still not working (at least for me its not).

Please help me. I have no clue here.

I am trying IM 6.5.2-6. thanks for the help

[sim123]

I tried IM 6.5.3.2 on MAC OS-X today and still having same issue, I am wondering why no one else is encountering same problem.

Please please someone help me. I really need it to be working.

Thanks.

Did you ever try renaming the IM identify to say imidentify to ensure you don't have a conflict with some other identify?

then

imidentify image.bmp

Also why is it so hard to switch your code to use

convert image.bmp info:

That gives the same results as identify

[sim123]

Thanks for quick response.

I tried switching name and still getting same results.I even tried everything on new Linux VM image and its not working in that image either. As I said earlier that if I switch to ImageMagick-6.4.6-8 then it works. so its broken after that and everyone agreed that convert and identify is broken. Convert got fixed however identify is in the same condition.

I don't want to change my code just because IM is not displaying results for specific image, I would rather switch to older version.

Another reason is I am using identify in my java code and looking for format of the image only to find out if this format is supported or not.

identify -format %m- PreviewImage.bmp

to avoid any parsing overheads inside java.

I would really be grateful if this can be fixed else please let me know so that I could switch to older version of IM.

Thanks for the help.

I appreciate your problem. And if it is truly a bug as it seems, then it should be fixed. But for some reason you are the only one so far who has this difficulty. Unfortunately, I am on OSX Tiger and so cannot confirm with OSX Leopard. It seems to work fine on Tiger. Have you confirmed it on any other operating systems? Is it possible it has something to do with your Java with respect to bmp files rather than IM?

But if all else fails or anyway, this produces the exact same information

identify -format %m- PreviewImage.bmp

or

convert PreviewImage.bmp -format %m info:


Try

identify -format "%m\n" PreviewImage.bmp

In some versions of IM convert ... info: and identify differed by a new line.

[sim123]

I tried latest version on Linux but getting same results. Thanks for the workaround though, convert with "-format %m" gives me same result as identify and one less command to maintain.

Just wondering convert PreviewImage.bmp -format %m info: is not doing any heavy weight processing and I am not introducing any performance overhead as compared to identify?

Thank you very much for the help fmw42, I really appreciate it.
