+profile * change/problem in version 6.8.9-7
Posted: 2014-08-29T13:58:59-07:00
First I am not a ImageMagick expert and there is a lot I don't understand about it. I will try and describe the possible bug but there are some unknowns.
I assume it has to do with a change in version 6.8.9-7 because I just updated to it on a Linux server when the problem started.
Software on the server that uses convert to create thumbnails stopped working after updating. Here is the command:
convert '336cb89ef57b625.tif[0]' -flatten -quality 90 +profile '*' -colorspace sRGB -resize 75X75\> 4f5152cba090d77.jpg
I can see the process start and using lots of memory but it never stops. I have tried with several large .tif files and it is always the same.
If seems like the +profile is causing the problem because if it switch it ot -strip like this it works as expected:
convert '336cb89ef57b625.tif[0]' -flatten -quality 90 -strip -colorspace sRGB -resize 75X75\> 4f5152cba090d77.jpg
As I understand +profile * and -strip do almost the same thing, -strip also removes comments as well as profiles.
The main reason I suspect it is a bug is because this worked before I updated to version 6.8.9-7. Any insight would be much appreciated.
