ImageMagick & AMS?

[jassing]

I had a need to use ImageMagick to identify an image; but when i tried, it errored:


omagick = luacom.CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1")
cImgeType = omagick:Identify("-format","%m","c:\\temp\\photo.bmp")


Yeilded:

Internal Error:(.\library\tLuaCOMTypeHandler.cpp,725):

Anyone have ideas before I just shell to identify.exe?

I would recommend using identify.exe after packing it with UPX to reduce file size then use File.Run with SW_HIDE to hide the operation as it does it, I'm afraid I won't be able to suggest a method to get LuaCOM working though.

I use ImageMagick's convert.exe with some of my more recent projects to add gaussian blur, convert images and other things. The File.Run method has never failed me.

not ideal , since I'm not sure it's legal to redistribute the exe's, but the com object & dll's are.

I used (retest's?) commandline plugin over File.Run() and SW_HIDE with redirects.. works fine.

I found this on their website.


ImageMagick-6.6.0-Q16-windows.zip

Portable Win32 static at 16 bits-per-pixel. This distribution does not include an installer and is most useful if you want to include ImageMagick in your own application distribution

I didn't read into it any more than on the download page.
