Can someone please spell out the instructions for activating ImageMagick on OS X when it is not installed in /usr/local/bin? (I don't think anybody on OS X has it there). My problem is: there is no mention anywhere on the web on how to do this, apart from something on http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery_Remote_Bundled, which states: Quote:
If you have already installed ImageMagick using Fink, it is probably installed in /sw/bin. In that case, you can either create symlinks for /sw/bin/convert to /usr/local/bin or edit the file im.properties in Gallery Remote.app/Contents/Resource/Java/img.jar to change imConvertPath to the real path for the convert executable. Which is a bad explanation: There is no im.properties file in img.jar and secondly it does not explain what the value of imConvertPath should be. In my infinite naivity I tried to just edit ~/.GalleryRemote/GalleryRemote.properties and add a line "imConvertPath=/opt/local/bin/convert", but of course this is so blindingly obvious that this of course does not work. So please, for Google's sake, can someone spell out how it should be set? |

Ah, I've got it, can someone please please please update the documentation?
The trick is to edit GalleryRemote.app/imagemagick/im.properties
There you have to set the value im.convertPath to the exact location of the executable (including the executable itself). So an example value would be /opt/local/bin/convert or /sw/bin/convert.
