SVG thumbnailing not working in Mediawiki

[maoltuile]

Hi,

I have Mediawiki 1.17 on Windows, using the latest ImageMagick to render thumbnails from SVG, I get the following error on trying to upload an SVG:

Error creating thumbnail: Magick: invalid argument for option `-thumbnail': 600x600\! @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2711.

Anyone any ideas here?

thanks

What is the convert command that is used? Try it from the command line. For example, this works for us:

• convert logo.svg -thumbnail 600x600! logo.png

Thanks for that (quick reply!), I'm not sure. Here's what I have in LocalSettings.php (in MediaWiki):

$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16\convert.exe';
$wgImageMagickIdentifyCommand = 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16\identify.exe';
$wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick';

It's calling on a completely unmodified ImageMagick install. Perhaps I need to change something, somewhere?

OK, just gotten onto the command-line of the machine in question, and tried the same DOS command that you did. Everything's working fine, but this is the very same file (that I've tested) that ImageMagick isn't thumbnailing in MediaWiki.

(On the main file gallery in MediaWiki, I'm getting the same error message but with "160x160" instead).

OK, I'm abandoning ImageMagick (at least for SVG) for the moment. InkScape is working.

Many thanks for your help.

This tells you that convert is seeing a backslash before the exclamation mark. Backslash is a Unix escape, not a Windows escape. Try removing the backslash.

Thanks. I did a search on that string ("\!"), and it turned up a number of Perl batch files inside XAMPP. I'm afraid to touch them, though(!).
