I had some problems with the comand Convert of last ImageMagick (there is a bug). So I have installed version 6.0.1. Now with the Convert there isn't any problem.

I have a problem with Montage.
I use this comand:
montage file1.png file2.png -mode Concatenate -tile x1 output.png

but it dont create any file and it dont return any error!

There isn't this problem if I dont put the -tile parameter, but I need tile parameter.

For some reason i cant use the convert comand to join files.

(using last version of ImageMagick i hadn't any problem with montage comand)

Who can help me please?

I am unfamiliar with -mode and do not think it is needed. See Anthony's page about montage at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/ for many examples of tiling (that do not use -mode). Going back to such old IM releases is generally not a good idea as they probably have other bugs that have been fixed by now.

If you had a problem with convert in some recent version of IM, you should post a message about it to the Bugs forum at viewforum.php?f=3 and show your command line, explain what you are trying to do and identify the version of IM. Perhaps you are just not writing your command line to correctly to do what you want to do.

Another option to put two images together side by side or above each other is -append or +append. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... php#append
