I run ImageMagick version 6.8.7 on Windows 7.

When I run

Code: Select all

convert C:\Photo.jpg -thumbnail 150x100^^ -gravity center -crop 150x100+0+0 +repage -format jpg -quality 75 C:\thumbs\Photo_thumb.jpg
i the command promt, it's work fine. When I try to run this in a bat-fil I get the following message: Invalid parameter - -thumbnail.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

"Invalid parameter - -thumbnail" is a message from the Windows utility "convert.exe", not the ImageMagick "convert.exe". You are calling the wrong program.

You can either:

- change your path enviroment variable so the IM path is before the Windows path
- rename IM convert.exe to, for example, imconvert.exe
- call convert.exe with a full path.
