Description Flags
Patch for mogrify(1) in ImageMagick-5.4.7 none

Description Boris Folgmann 2002-11-20 13:36:13 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020829

Description of problem:
mogrify (bulk image transformation) seems to be broken in ImageMagick-5.4.7-5
included in RedHat 8.
May be it has something to do with the GIF compression. Did you change anything
in ImageMagick because of patent problems?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a big GIF.
2. Enter "mogrify -scale 120 big.gif" in the shell



Actual Results:  3. you get no error message
4. big.gif has not changed it's size
5. temp file big.mgk was left behind


Expected Results:  mogrify should scale down the image to a maximum width of 120
pixels, as did ImageMagick-5.4.3.11-1 included in RedHat 7.3.


Additional info:

Here is my example trace for you:

I did not attach my picture, because it's copyrighted and should not be released
to the public right now. I can send it to you in an email, if you lack an
example picture.

Comment 2 Emmanuel Kowalski 2002-12-22 20:16:23 UTC 
It is not a GIF issue, mogrify does the same with  other image types
and other transformations (tried with JPEGS, and scaling as well as
rotating). On the other hand, the '.mgk' files seem to be the right ones
since they seem to be the same as those produced by a convert(1) command
instead (checked with md5sum on a JPEG rescaling).

Patch for mogrify(1) in ImageMagick-5.4.7

After looking at the source, it seems to be just a typo in utilities/mogrify.c,

which the patch above corrects (if I understand things right...)
Comment 4 Emmanuel Kowalski 2002-12-23 13:25:19 UTC 
I have checked the correctness of the patch above by comparing with the
version of ImageMagick in Redhat 7.3 which ``incorporates'' it...
Comment 5 Boris Folgmann 2003-03-03 16:38:56 UTC 
Is it fixed in rawhide?
Comment 6 Emmanuel Kowalski 2003-03-03 19:45:01 UTC 
It is still broken (in the same way) in Rawhide and Phoebe (I checked the SRPM 
and did a quick test by building the tarball, without applying the Redhat
patches; however, none seemed to be relevant).

Comment 7 Kurt Zingler 2003-06-10 06:13:49 UTC 
You can fix this problem with the rpms from ImageMagick (ver 5.5.7)
Comment 8 Boris Folgmann 2003-08-21 12:42:58 UTC 
Still not fixed in Red Hat 9A.
Anybody at Red Hat reading this?
Comment 9 Boris Folgmann 2004-04-01 13:53:17 UTC 
RedHat released no update for RedHat 9.
One can upgrade to ImageMagick-5.5.7.15-0.2.i386.rpm from Fedora Core
1.90. It can be installed w/o any dependency trouble.
