Latex compilation -> pdf-image conversion saving path

I'm compiling my latex files to convert them automatically from PDF to image with Image Magick. Though I'm not sure whether this is rather latex compiler or Image Magick problem, perhaps I figure out something there.
The outcome image should be saved into recent folder (i.e. ..\import\). However IM wants the image in some unknown subfolder (\300), that I have never configured:
Also I'm looking for some IM configuration that determines the saving path.
If anyone wants
latex compilation log file. I'm using MiKTeX compiler.

If I successfully set folder permissions in command line:
Code: Select all
ICACLS "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\import\300" /grant "PC":F
ICACLS "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\import\300" /grant "Administrators":F
ICACLS "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\import\300" /grant "SYSTEM":F
the access is still denied. Please help...

ImageMagick has no configuration that determines the path for saving files.
The error message you are getting form IMdisplay is for an image file, not a directory.

OK, can you situate me to try anything?
Test commands work for me:
Code: Select all
$ convert logo: logo.gif
$ identify logo.gif
$ imdisplay

Something is telling IMdisplay to open an image file called "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\import\300".
ImDisplay can't find that file.
Does the file exist? If not, then that is why IMdisplay can't find it.

No, there is not such a file. I'm converting PDF file (it's called import.pdf) into image file.
I'm using
standalone macro for cropping the formatted text/tikz image at compilation and then automatically calling IM to convert created PDF. In
standalone manual there aren't noticed some special tasks for conversion software (just -shell-escape attribute), as well as some comments about 300 image.

If I call the whole project 300 (-> 300.pdf), it still cannot find the 300 file.

I have the feeling that ImageMagick is not called properly. The 300 looks like some density parameter.

When I call
convert in command line, it probably launch that WIN tool for converting FAT into NTFS. Also I gotta call the entire path:
Code: Select all
"D:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.9-Q16\convert.exe" import.pdf import.png
Then it works. Could it be the problem? How can I get rid of it (may I delete that tool from path variable)?

rename IM convert.exe to something like IMconvert.exe and then use that

I renamed convert.exe into imgconvert.exe (there was another imgconvert.exe and I removed it, hope it doesn't matter), and
NOW IT WORKS! After compilation, there is PNG image created
Thanks for your answers!
