page in parenthesis goes global!

-page goes global with parenthesis...

This works properly, positing the rose on the logo:

Code: Select all

convert granite:  -page +20+50 rose:  -flatten show:

But this pages BOTH the rose: and the logo: images, when 'page' should only be applied to the rose:
Even more so as parenthesis was used!

Code: Select all

convert granite: \( -page +20+50 rose: \) -flatten show:

Something is definitely not right!

We can reproduce the problem and have a fix in the Subversion trunk. Since the -page behavior has changed you should check it against your web site to see if any of your existing commands depended upon the previous behavior.

Now setting -page for an input images fails.

Code: Select all

convert granite: -page +5+10  balloon.gif   -page +35+30 medical.gif  -flatten  show:

However strangely it works fine for overlaying built-ins

Code: Select all

convert granite: -page +5+10  rose:  -page +35+30 rose:  -flatten  show:

Try this (with the latest subversion):

• convert -respect-parenthesis granite: \( -page +20+50 rose: \) -flatten show:

It seems that -respect-parenthesis should be the default setting meaning anything within the parenthesis by default should be local to forgotten once the parens end.

[anthony]

-page however should only be used to assign new images (read or specifically created)
The parenthesis should not matter in this case!

In any case -respect-parenthesis is about what settings are in place AFTER the parenthesis has finished, not before. As such again it should not matter what -page setting being done within parenthesis!

Grab the latest from SVN. It appears to fix the problem.

Yes it is now working correctly. passing all IM examples, including the previous examples it was originally failing with.
