Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I frequently use display to review photos from my camera. After a recent update, the application seems to automatically combine photos into "scenes". Here is the sequence of events:

I use a command like:

display *.jpg

• The first image displays normally.
• I hit the space-bar to go to the next image.
• The same image (first image) is displayed again, but the title bar changes to display the information: "[scene: 0 frames: 2]"
• Hit space-bar again, second image is displayed
• Hit space bar again, first image is displayed, title bar reads "[scene: 0 frames: 3]"
• Above pattern repeats....

This makes display almost useless for reviewing my photos. It appears that a "scene" is related to animation, but I never deal with animation.

I've tried to search on this, but cannot find a way to disable the behavior.

How can this be fixed?

I am running on Debian Linux (testing). Here is the version information:

I have the same problem, also on Debian, and I wondered if you had found any solution.

Same on MacOS X 10.6, ImageMagick 6.7.2 built with MacPorts. Extremely annoying. Also, I noticed that even if displaying a single image, pressing <space> repeatedly (or choosing Next from popup menu) generates spurious "scenes/frames". One <space> results in title bar changing to [scene:0 frames:2], next two <spaces> makes it [scene:0 frames:3, then three <spaces> to get "frames:4" and so on.

Tried to use -scenes option (-scenes 0) to no success.

It does not occur in older versions that I use on my Linux machines (6.6.4 on Fedora 14, 6.2.8 on CentOS 5.x)

Same here, ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 on suse linux.

We can reproduce the problem you reported and will have a patch within a day or two. Thanks.

By report fro one of our user ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755827 ) it still reproduced in 6.7.3-7 version too. Do you plan fix it?

Unfortunately we cannot reproduce the problem. We have images 0.png, 1.png, 2.png, and 3.png. Our version is ImageMagick 6.7.3-7. Our command:

• display ?.png

As expected, 0 is shown first. We press the space bar and 1 is shown. We press the space bar and 2 is shown. We press the space bar and 3 is shown. We press the space bar and 0 is shown as expected since the sequence wraps.

Try to run:

display *.jpg

Note this happens with JPEGS
