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.

I tried to compile IM again on a new centOS VM environment, however I am getting same problem that identify does not work, can someone please provide me binary rpm or tar for CentOS 5.2 ??

Thanks for the help and support. I really appreciate it.

what happens if you rename identify to say imidentify in /usr/local/bin (or where ever your IM is stored). then try

imidentify image.bmp

this way you can be sure that there is no confusion between IM's identify and any other identify belonging to your system or any other application

Windows users often do this to avoid confusion, I am told.

Thanks for reply, I am getting same results on MAC, identify does not display anything. I am building new CentOS VM, will try same thing on it as well.

Could you please share IM 6.5.4 (or latest) binary for MAC ? I had 6.4.5 installed earlier and it worked for every type of images.

Thanks.

I assume you mean 6.5.2-4. But IM is now at 6.5.2-6 and you can get the mac binary at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... php#macosx

Thanks for reply, I took IM from the link and version is 6.5.2-5

I am getting same results from this one

I don't know what could wrong on my machine (Leopard), no clue and I understand that its really annoying for you guys too but I want identify to work otherwise all of my code will break and I can't afford to change identify to convert. I appreciate your help. Did someone test latest version for this case in Leopard/ CentOS?

Ok, I again tired all versions of IM available on ImageMagick.net and nothing works. I had earlier version of IM (6.4.6-8) and this one worked so I think it's not preview or environment something is broken after 6.4.6-8 and I don't know what it is. I could use 6.4.6-8, just wondering is there any major disadvantage using older version?

Thanks for the help.

I don't want to intercede between you and the IM folks. But your premise may be wrong, since before you were able to do

convert rose: rose.bmp
identify rose.bmp

Does that not work now?

Again on Mac OSX Tiger IM 6.5.2-7 Q16, I have no problem downloading your r.jpg, converting it with Preview to r.bmp and then

identify r.bmp
r.bmp BMP 356x400 356x400+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 417kb


So I still believe it has something to do with Leopard Preview's conversion to bmp.

If you do

convert r.jpg r.bmp
identify r.bmp

what happens?

I am testing identify r.bmp ( a preview generated bmp) only, everything else like convert and identify for rose.bmp works. convert r.bmp info: works too, sorry for the confusion here. I tried posting on bug forum however IM guys could not reproduce the problem so no response after that, may be bug forum is for logging bugs only.

Did you try earlier versions of IM like 6.4.9-10 or 6.5.2-0 on Tiger for Preview generated bmp? May be it always worked for Tiger Preview. I am using Preview 4.2 on Leopard 10.5.7.

I want to convince on that, there may be some problem with 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).

Thanks a ton for being patient and replying to my posts. I really appreciate it.

I would continue to post, especially this last note, to the bugs forum. Keep poking at it. Also remind them of the verbose debug all response that you got.

There ought to be a way to figure out if it is a Preview or IM problem?


I did not test on older versions of IM from before your original post and don't really want to install an old version at this point.

My version of Preview is 3.0.9 on Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11

Did you try renaming identify as I suggested, just to see if there was some naming conflict?

Thanks, I posted on bug forum and will wait for reply.

Thanks for the help.

Did you try renaming identify, just to ensure that it is not a naming conflict? Probably not as you can use identify on other bmp image, but it would not hurt to try.

yes I did, same results.

Same problem with sim123. I will monitor the bug forum and hopefully will get the solution quickly.

Simulation pret immobilier

Oh you too!! I was thinking I am the only one who is having this issue, please post this on bug forum as well so they will take it more seriously.

Thanks.
