This example use to work (create a label containing a color from a different image) the -set sets a global 'artifact' (like -define but with percent escapes) that should be --- global.

However label: can not see that global artifact any more. I get a label of just "test " and without
the artifact string. The above used to work, but now does not.

But when I tried the equivelent... It works!!!!

Using shows that for the first case shows that a Artifact is created but only for the first image the 'global' artifact, but that 'global' setting is missing from the new label image.

And yet has the artifact in BOTH images!

In summery: -set option:key value should be the same as -define key=value but the above shows that it isn't!

We can reproduce the problem you posted and have a patch in ImageMagick 6.6.4-5 Beta to fix it. Thanks.

Yes it is working again. You can now even delete the first image completely before creating the label with the global 'artifact' setting, which is what I would have expected.

thanks.

I have reworked the -set and -define options in the command line options page, to try and may it clear about how it can modify known 'attribute', free-form per-image 'properties' and global 'artifacts'.

The IM Examples equivalent however is really really bad and incomplete, as it needs to cover more ground.
