Hi:

Sorry I did not found a place to present myseft... maybe it is not
required.

So to the point, my first question.

I use windows 7

I use IM to rotate, crop, resize my images.

But erery time I activale the convert .exe
a window shows up.

Is there a way to make it NOT to show
this window.

I have look for something similar to -silent or -quiet
but do not seem to be it.

Thanks

Emilio

How do you activate convert.exe?

I normally run convert.exe from the command line or a script. If you use "drag and drop", and you use conhost, I don't think you can stop the window from appearing (but with "properties", perhaps you can minimise it). If you use mintty, you may be able to hide it.

Hi snibgo:

Thanks for the fast reply.

I use something like this

RUN convert morig.jpg -rotate +90 morig_rotado.jpg

What is mintty?

Thanks, much apreciated

From the start menu, I suppose? You might find it easier to open a command window, and type commands there (without "RUN").

mintty is the command window that comes with Cygwin. It has a few more features than the Microsoft Windows command window. "tty" = Teletype, which is what we used before personal computers, and even before VDU screens.

But I suggest you don't get involved with Cygwin until you understand Windows command windows.

I create batch files and drop my photos over the batch file icon but still get a command box window open and close. I suppose this is what you are talking about Emilio? I seem to remember seeing a post about this a few years ago but can not remember the outcome.

Bonzo:

Yes, this is what I am talking about.

For me it is very annoying trying to get some data from a image and that on top of my image it shows this window.

But if there is no solution... well, then there is no solution.

Thanks

Try putting the batch file in a folder, copying the image to that folder then clicking the batch file to run it. There's a slim possibility running the batch file directly in the same folder as the image might skip opening the window.

Yes, you can hide the window by using mintty. For example, create a desktop icon with whatever "Start in" directory you want, and "Target" set to: But the question is about systems configuration under Windows, and ImageMagick is incidental.
