PDF - Thumbs with ImageMagick and Ghostscript

[AScherff]

ImageMagick6 ist installed and working
Ghostscript is installed and working

convert \test.pdf \test.jpg 2>&1

shellscript is working..

$im = new Imagick();
$im->readimage('/test.pdf[0]');
$im->setImageFormat('jpeg');    
$im->writeImage('/thumb.jpg');
$im->clear();
$im->destroy(); 

PHP is working...


I think, there is no need for delegate.xml because shell and PHP are working. Anyway, inserted:

 <delegate decode="pdf" encode"jpg"  command="&quot;convert %i %o&quot;"/>

Anyway, getting error in admincp:

Failed to automatically validate that Ghostscript is installed & configured with ImageMagick for PDF to JPG conversion.
Please ensure that Ghostscript is installed and that relevant entries in ImageMagick's delegates.xml point to the proper path for Ghostscript's executable. You can ignore this and set this option to "Yes" if PDF conversion already works without the delegates check.

Ignoring this has no effect.

Uploading images - thumbs are createt.
uploading pdf - thumb not and also no error...

Is this feature working? What is wrong?

P.S. tryed with VB 5.3.3 RC2

Your delegate command should actually call Ghostscript. If it isn't on the PATH checked by the server, you would need the path in the command. However, if it works in the shell script, it may be configured during compile so try without the explicit delegate.

<delegate decode="pdf" encode"jpg"  command="gs &quot;convert %i %o&quot;"/>

stil not working for me - but

in /atachments i can see hat a .thumb file is created and it is a jpg-file but in a very,very poor quality - even when the delegate is not set.

I can dig into, if you give me a hint where the thumb is created. I think somewhere in in /core/vb/image/imagemagick.php ?

Offhand, I don't know where it is set in the code.
