ImageMagick 6.8.8.10-Q8-x64 Windows Binary : no problem.
ImageMagick 6.8.9.2-Q8-x64 Windows Binary : problem.

Please clarify your problem. It is not clear what your complaint is about!

If you do not want to overwrite your input file, then use -path to save the output to another existing directory. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#mogrify

Since recently mogrify doesn't overwrite the original file, but keeps it around by renaming it to "filename" appended with "~".

There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off this feature.

If I use mogrify, I am sure I want to overwrite the original and don't need it anymore, else I would use convert. I feel like I am being treated as an idiot.

Sorry, I do not know how to turn this feature off. It may be OS dependent. Perhaps one of the developers can give you more information.

We can reproduce the problem you posted and have a patch in ImageMagick 6.8.9-6 Beta, available by sometime tomorrow. Thanks.

Did this patch ever come out? I have the same problem and I can't seem to fix it..

@pancakegh: Yes, it was fixed. It's been working for me since the above admin post. Currently I have version 6.9.0.4 on Linux.

Still experiencing exactly the same issue with IM 6.9.2-5 (static portable) on Win7 Pro x64...anybody else?
