Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

CZIM is a Windows interface for Image Magick combined with CombineZ. Most of the functionality of IM is included, there are various graphical tools to simplify parameter entry, and results are displayed on screen. It is not a command line program.
I have put together a web page which is an introduction to the program, and contains a download link if you think you would like to give it a try, and tell me what you think:-

It would make a nice graphics toy to try over the Christmas break I intend to port it to IM 7 as soon as this becomes available.

I see you have been busy over the summer Alan.

I would give it a trial but I am still on 32bit and do not see a new PC on the horizon as the wife wants a new bathroom!

The web page looks very promising.

After unzipping czim.zip, I find I have no privileges over the files. I'm not allowed to move or delete them. I need to be admin to move them.

I try running czim from a different directory. It complains it can't find an IM DLL file, but I know it is there. It seems I need to add the IM directory to my path (which I don't normally do).

So I add the IM directory to my path. Try running czim again. It starts to show the window as shown on the web site, but then I get a pop-up message: "CZIM.exe has stopped working".

I try again, this time from the IM directory. Same problem.

Thank's for your report.

I have removed all mention of IM from my environment variables and the program still runs on my PC.

I tried running from a different folder and I get the symptoms you describe, so the bottom line would seem to be CZIM needs to be in the same folder as the IM DLL files.

Does anyone know a way to circumvent the privaliges problem?
