Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,

I've seen a lot of articles dealing with this error but I didn't find an answer to my problem.
Yesterday I installed ImageMagick on a Windows-System.
If I try to convert a gif to jpg-File it works fine in a DOS-Box.

g:\imagemagick\convert.exe f:\onlinebilder\artikel\ELTKONTOR\FARBBILDER\411756.gif 411756.jpg

But if I try this within a Cachè-Script

S Queue="g:\imagemagick\convert.exe F:\onlinebilder\artikel\ELTKONTOR\FARBBILDER\411756.gif F:\onlinebilder\artikel\ELTKONTOR\FARBBILDER\411756.jpg"
O Queue:"qr":3 Q:'$T
S I=0
F U Queue R A:300 Q:$zeof Q:'$T F I=I+1 S A(I)=A
C Queue

I get the following messages

A(1)="convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `F:\onlinebilder\artikel\ELTKONTOR\FARBBILDER\411756.gif'."
A(2)="convert.exe: missing an image filename `F:\onlinebilder\artikel\ELTKONTOR\FARBBILDER\411756.jpg'."

I spent several hours with this problem - may be there is anyone who can help me.

You just do not have the appropriate delegate (DLL) libraries.

These are optional, and are only needed if you actually want to handle that specific format. Check the IM web site for more deatils about the delegate libraries downloads.

Perhaps the two commands are running in different environments.
Try adding -debug configure to both commands.
I presume that the output for the script will be different than for the DOS command and that might tell you what is wrong.

Hello Pete,

I tried what you had suggested, here are the two outputs:
this is the one via script:

and this is the one at the DOS-Box when the convert is successfull

I can't find out what the problem is - do you have any further ideas?

Thanks so far.

Rainer

The two versions are loading different configuration files.
The one that fails loads: whereas the one that succeeds loads these: It appears that you have two installations of IM, one on D: and one on G:.
