Hi
I installed the latest version
I try to create an animation
and I get an invalid parameter 100(for delay)
convert -delay 100 -loop 0 00*.png animation_0.gif
and I get an invalid parameter 0(for loop)
convert -loop 0 00*.png animation_0.gif

what am I doing wrong?

You are running a Microsoft program called "convert.exe", not ImageMagic.

I run through the cmd console

previously it worked fine (but it was windows7 Now windows10)

So you've upgraded your system? Previously, IM's directory was in front of Microsoft in the system path. Now it is behind, or not on the path at all.

You could reinstall IM, or simply modify your system path.

reinstall program (c:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-7.0.4-Q16\)
open cmd
I moved to a folder with pictures
cd c:\myimg>
written inquiry
c:\myimg>convert -delay 40 -loop 0 00*.png Full_animation_3800.gif
I received an invalid parameter error 40

When you installed, did you tick the option to set the system path?

What happens when you type: You'll probably get the same thing for both.

Does it say: If so, that's the Microsoft program.

When you installed, did you tick the option to set the system path?

this is default option

What happens when you type:

all requests issued
"Incorrect drive."

Now I'm an idiot, it was necessary to put a tick to install additional utilities

The question is solved, thanks

Ah, so you didn't install IM's convert. Yeah, that explains why it didn't run (tee-hee).
