In Powerbuilder I am connecting to ImageMagick using OLE but when I try to executing the convert command I get a message about convert not being found. I've downloaded many versions of IM without any luck. I found that it use to work in version IM6.5.9...Q16. This old version is no longer available.
Please help.

What version of IM do you use now? Is "convert" found at the command line?

Hello,
I downloaded all the versions from the Imagemagick site. Ones with convert and ones without. The ones that were static and dynamic. Version 6 & 7. It's odd. I've used similar commands like below to connect to Word or Excel. I am using Powerbuilder 2017 R3. The last version of Imagemagick I downloaded was ImageMagick-7.0.8-Q8.

I can connect to the Imagemagick process:

OLEObject oMagick
oMagick = Create OLEObject
oMagick.ConnectToNewObject ('ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1')

but this command fails:
oMagick.object.ImagickImage.convert(ls_origfile, '-format', 'png', ls_destfile)

Thanks

I am sorry the command was:

oMagick.convert(ls_origfile, '-format', 'png', ls_destfile)

I figured out how to adjoin a bunch of tifs into one big tif file using Powerbuilder:

Here's how I connect to imagick in Powerbuilder:

OLEObject oMagick
oMagick = Create OLEObject
oMagick.ConnectToNewObject ('ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1')

ls_orgfile = ls_folder_with_files + '\*.tif' // ls_folder_with_files is a variable containing the name of the folder (c:\temp\folder1) that contains the tifs I want to join together.

ls_destfile= ls_consolidated_file_name // ls_consolidated_file_name is a variable containing the path and file name of the new consolidated file (c:\temp\file.tif).

// Its was the *.tif that tells imagemagick to get all the files in the folder (ls_folder_with_files ) and join them together and copy the internal file to the new file (ls_consolidated_file_name).

try

la_result= ioMagick.Convert('-adjoin', ls_orgfile , ls_destfile ) // <======================

CATCH (OLERuntimeError ole_e1)
ls_error = ole_e1.getmessage()
gnv_app.inv_error.of_Message("Error", "ioMagick.Convert command call in of_create_consolidated_packet() function failed", exclamation!)
CATCH (Exception ex1)
ls_error = ex1.getmessage()
gnv_app.inv_error.of_Message("Error", ls_error, exclamation!)
Finally
Destroy ioMagick
end try
