Hello,

if I pipe a targa image, the format is not detected...

cat test.tga | convert - test.png
convert.im6: pas de délégué pour décoder ce format d'image `/tmp/magick-LyUCfXRY' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/544.
convert.im6: pas d'images définies `test.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3044.

if I pipe a jpeg or tiff image, the format is detected...

Code: Select all

cat test.jpg | convert - test.png

Code: Select all

cat test.tiff | convert - test.png

This does not work because the .TGA file format does not start with a marker to let us detect the file format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA). You will have to do something like this:

Code: Select all

cat test.tga | convert tga:- test.png
