Possible bug in identify -list format

Post by brammetje »

Hi all,
In version 6.8.3-6 build on debian :
When i look at ImageMagick-6.8.3-6/www/formats.html it shows the DIB format as supported.
When i use the command "convert picture.bmp picture.dib" or "convert picture.dib picture.bmp" everything seems to work ok.
But when i do "identify -list format" i don't see DIB listed as usable format.

When i use the Converseen gui it doesn't give me the option to use DIB . Could that be related?

Greetings,
Nils.

DIB support is stealth . A stealth coder is one utilized internally by ImageMagick but it is not exported to the user command line. However, exporting is just a matter of making the format public (e.g. identify -list format). You can still use it even though its not listed. For example, this works:
  • convert rose: rose.dib
