Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

When I go to the downloads section, (Using Chrome on Win8), I see a couple of problems the main one is that the first column is so narrow, 22 characters, that I have to guess which file to download as with only the first 22 characters, less 4 for ...> on all the names that exceed 22, there is not enough of the name displayed for me to decode which file(s) I need. Additionally, the one column that could help, especially for users less used to decoding long file names, is the description column - this is blank. Surely it would be worth a little effort to come up with say a python script that decoded the names into plane English and did the upload with the descriptions set.

I found it quite hard to find the right information on how to go about this but did find:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mo ... escription

Which may be of help - possibly adding something like:

AddDescription "Windows 32 bit Installer" ImageMagic*Win32*.msi

etc. to a descript.ion file would be all it would take.

Hope this is not off topic or considered too much of a distraction from the real work.

Sorry - Just noticed that the place to add these, (on Apache), is httpd.conf or .htaccess file.

We cannot reproduce the problem you posted. We tried various browsers against http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php and the fields were readable. We could even read it on our cell phone with its narrow screen. We tested Chrome under Windows 7 and Windows 10 and it worked fine. We do not have Windows 8.

As far as I understand, It is against http://www.imagemagick.org/download/
Reproduced with Firefox also.

Yes I'm seeing that with current Firefox nightly. But if you hover over one of the truncated links you get the full link at the bottom of the screen.

Probably, adding Namewidth=* to IndexOptions Directive solve the problem.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mo ... .namewidth

Even easier of course would be to replace the link in the paragraph half way down the front page, (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php), that reads:

"The current release is ImageMagick 6.9.2-0 available from http://www.imagemagick.org/download. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and others."

With a link to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php - then only people following search engines would be likely to land on the download index page.

Done.

Thank-you!
