  • sixel viewer setup questions

    From Rixter@VERT/RICKSBBS to all on Wed Nov 20 18:24:47 2024
    I want to install the sixelgallery on my BBS. I am using the git version of sixelgaller.js by Craig Hendricks. I am up to part where I point the viewer to the file directories. I noticed he referred to Path_to_im_conv= c:\imagemagick\convert.exe' I downloaded version 7.1.1-Q16-HDRI.exe I do not see a program called convert.exe in the directory. I see one named conjure.exe, which exe should I be using? Should I have downloaded a windows registery installer version or the 7.1.0-38 that does not install in registry? The notes in the GIT do not mention this. What is everyone else using? I may want to include this in the logon screens at some point but right now I just wanted to include a picture gallery on the BBS for my family and friends. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Have a good evening all!

    Looks like you have to ask it to install legacy option to get convert or maybe use option with magick.exe

    From a forum post I found
    Re: convert.exe missing from 7.0.1-Q16? Post by fmw42 2016-05-02T17:02:29-07:00 Imagemagick 7 uses the "magick" command in place of "convert". I do not know Windows, but I thought a binary install was supposed to make a symbolic link from convert to magick. But as I do not know Windows, I do not know how it handles the .exe. Perhaps convert.exe is linked to magick.exe. see http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli for the changes between IM 6 and IM 7 Fred's ImageMagick Scripts Top snibgo Posts: 12159 Joined: 2010-01-23T23:01:33-07:00 Authentication code: 1151 Location: England, UK Re: convert.exe missing from 7.0.1-Q16? Post by snibgo 2016-05-02T17:21:10-07:00 The IM 7 for Windows instllation process has a series of windows, including a load of checkboxes. About half way down one of these is wording something like "Install legacy components (convert.exe etc)". Tick this box.

    Another sixel gallery

    https://github.com/codefenix-ConChaos/SixelGallery

    I use codefenix NewsDesk (RSS) program (JS) for synchronet. I had not seen this sixel gallery until, I tried looking up the one you mentioned Rixer.

    I'm going to give this one a try when I have a chance.
