Hi

Just thought I'd post the problem I had and solved here.

I've just got a new PC and found I had to install ImageMagick separately to get Gallery Remote working. My new PC is:

Windows Vista 64 bit (Business)
Gallery Remote 1.5 (new installation from main GR page)

After installation, when i tried to add the first image it told me imagemagick was not installed. i tried re-installing it all but that didn't work. so i downloaded this file from the ImageMagick site:

ImageMagick-6.3.8-2-Q16-windows-static.exe

After installing that, I re-interpreted the instructions from this page:

http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Imagemagick-to-Work-With-Gallery-Remote

I changed the default ImageMagick path and put this in the im.properties file:
im.convertPath=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ImageMagick\\convert.exe

Hope that helps somebody else.

cheers

Phil,
Thank you for taking the time to write this informative solution to the same problems I was running into with Vista and GR1.5. I followed your instructions and ImageMagick is now working like a charm. However, I got the same error message about "jpegtran". Have you had this problem? Anyways, great write-up!

Hi guys
I do have the same problem with VISTA and Gallery Remote, but your solution didn't work for me.
Is there an other way to fix this?

I did the exact same thing philiphart did but used the 64 bit version:

ImageMagick-6.5.1-6-Q16-windows-x64-static.exe

Works like a champ!

I've tried these steps and I still get the ImageMagick not found (and I am also getting jpegtran not found).

I am running Windows 7 64x, I have installed Gallery Remote 1.5 and ImageMagick-6.5.2-4-Q16-windows-x64-static.exe. I have tried editing the im.properties file and I still get the error messages when I open Gallery Remote.

Any further suggestions?

Working for me on Windows 7 x64 and ImageMagick-6.6.0-5-Q16-windows-x64-static.exe. I'm using the WebStart version of GR and added:

im.convertPath=C\:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-6.6.0-Q16\\convert.exe

to:

%USERPROFILE%\.GalleryRemote\GalleryRemote.properties

For jpegtran, I just copied that .exe to %WINDIR%\System32
