ImageMagick install on Windows 8

[metutel]

Operating System: Windows 8.1
System Type: 64-bit, x64
Version: ImageMagick-6.8.8-1-Q16-x64-dll

I have been trying since yesterday to install ImageMagick as part of my Latexml installation. Please note that I am using Strawberry perl as my command line prompt.

I am able to run most of the setup wizard without any issues, however, when I am asked to do the following:

You have now installed ImageMagick. To test the installation select Command Prompt from the Windows Start menu. Within the window type:
convert wizard: wizard.jpg
convert wizard.jpg win:
and the ImageMagick wizard displays in a window.

I did some research, and I had to use the absolute path names to get it to run (which I think that it did), but the wizard window is nowhere to be found.

Code: Select all

C:\>"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\convert.exe" wizard:"C:\Program File
s\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\images\wizard.jpg"

This worked, and I got a long list of directions about the image.

Code: Select all

C:\>"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\convert.exe" "C:\Program Files\Image
Magick-6.8.8-Q16\images\wizard.jpg" win:

This appeared to run, but the wizard did not pop up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry about "win:" or "show:". They don't work on Windows. If you type "wizard.jpg" on the command line it should display the image.

(I don't know why the developers still include this as a confidence test.)

win: and show: works for us under Windows 8.

Code: Select all

convert wizard: wizard.jpg
convert wizard.jpg win:

Just gives me an "Open with box" on windows 7.

I am on Windows 8.1, IM v6.8.8-0.

I see that delegates has changed so show: and win: now call imdisplay. Running a command window with the IM directory as the first entry in my PATH, the commands ...

Code: Select all

convert logo: l.png
imdisplay
imdisplay l.png

... all work as expected.

But the commands ...

Code: Select all

convert l.png win:
convert logo: win:
convert logo: show:

... pause for about 4 seconds then finish without starting imdisplay.

With "-debug all" I see that they pause after showing:

Code: Select all
