Hello,

when the convert throws an error "memory allocation failed", the "thumbnail-100x100.jpg" will still be created with the original size (e.g. 8000 x 2000)
Is there an option, which prevents creating the file?

convert -resize 100x100 -quality 100 reallybigimage-8000x2000.jpg thumbnail-100x100.jpg

I do not know about the question you ask, but you IM syntax is not proper for IM 6 though still may work. The input image should be read first if not a vector format.

convert reallybigimage-8000x2000.jpg -resize 100x100 -quality 100 thumbnail-100x100.jpg
