Problem with montage when using the * wildcard

[tomil]

Hello,
my first post here.
I have a problem with montage, running on Windows XP SP3.
I reinstalled windows and downloaded latest ImageMagick (Version: ImageMagick 6.5.4-2 2009-06-30 Q16 OpenMP).
My script runs the following command:

montage *.png map.gif

and now it gives error

montage: unable to open image `kartta\': No such file or directory @ blob.c/Open
Blob/2476.

There is a directory called 'kartta' in the current dir so that's where the 'kartta\' name comes from, but it doesn't make any sense anyways.
With older IM version it worked OK. If I replace the command with, for example

montage 1178-2343-12.png 1178-2344-12.png map.gif

it works ok, so it seems like the wildcard has something to do with it?

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Tomi

perhaps it is trying to use your directory kartta as if it were a file? i am unaware that montage can traverse a subdirectory to get images.

Maybe, I don't know. And even if it were, that would be different behavior from the old version that simply expanded the *.png to a list of png files in the current directory, without traversing subdirs.

The problem you reported is fixed in the current ImageMagick beta release. Look for a new Windows distribution of ImageMagick 6.5.4-3 in about a week.
