Subject: 28.1; image-convert not working on Windows
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 08:16:43 +0200

image-converter dosesn(t work with emacs 28.1 on Windows
10.  I start with:

runemacs -Q

then:

(auto-image-file-mode 1)
(setq image-use-external-converter t
      image-converter 'graphicsmagick)

GrpahicsMagick 1.3.36 Q16 win64 is installed and working fine.  I can
test an image in SunRaster format:

(image-convert-p "C:/Users/.../img.ras") -> image-convert

then I enter:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ras\\'" . image-mode))

and if I visit the sunraster file I get the following error in the
Messages buffer:

Not a PNG image: ‘(image :type png :data \211PNG

  Thanks. Is is working fine.

  I have 2 other remrks about image-converter:

  - it would be better to use 'magick convert' instead of 'convert' to
    avoid ambiguities at least under windows,
  - bmp images cannot be processed by an external converter as bmp is
    listed in image-type-file-name-regexps. Except the bmp images are
    not displayed by the new method on Windows

  I think I have to send 2 new bug reports.

Thanks for testing.

Lars, WDYT about including this in Emacs 28.2?  If you think it's safe
enough, would you mind testing the patch on GNU/Linux?  I don't have
access to any systems with ImageMagick installed.

(In the final commit, I will make the same change in the ffmpeg
method.)

I don't understand: the actual method invoked in that case is
image-converter--convert-magick.  The image-converter--convert one (if
that's what you mean) is a generic name (see that cl-defmethod?).  So
what is not right here?

Emacs 29 can display BMP images on Windows natively, so that problem
is already taken care of, just not in Emacs 28.

It looks safe enough for 28.2 to me.

I've now tried your patch in Emacs 28 in Debian/bookworm, and enabled
conversion using imagemagick, and it works fine for me (testing on a
webp image).

Thanks, installed on the emacs-28 branch, and closing the bug.
