hello,

I tried the use of imagemagick with pdf-files. There is a problem:

I upload foo.pdf.

s9y/imagemagick makes foo.serendipityThumb.pdf wich is empty. And it makes foo.serendipityThumb.pdf.png whth the real thuimbnail.

But the media-library wants to show as the thumbnail the foo.serendipityThumb.pdf!


And by the way: Why did imagemagick makes the LAST page of the pdf to the thumbnail, would not be the first one better?

Hi!

Which Event-Plugins do you have installed, wihch PHP version are you using?

That might depend on the imagemagick version. The versions I know index the first page.

Best regards,

I delete every event-plugin (but not the backup-event :P ), same result: wrong link in the media library, empty foo.serendipityThumb.pdf and a foo.serendipityThumb.pdf.png with the last page.

php 5.2.0

That might depend on the imagemagick version. The versions I know index the first page.

I assume you're using the 1.1-beta5or a recent snapshot version?

Do you havethe "on the fly" synchronization feature enabled?

one of the snapshots - not the latest one but not very old. Can I see the snapshot-version anywhere?

Do you mean "Automagische Synchronisation der Mediendatenbank"? Yes.

Hi!

Okay, the snapshot helps me enough. Does the problem go away when disabling the on-the-fly synchronization for new PDFs?

I'll try to have a look at it.

I disabled it (for all - there is no option to do it for pdf only):

no difference:

sucsessfull uploaded, "vorschau erzeugt" and the wrong link/file-name

btw, why should this make any difference? the on-the-fly is for recocnicing changings by ftp, isn't it?

btw2: no matter what config for that option: after uploading a pdf by ftp (and after a manual thumbnail-making) there is only the pdf-smbol-logo and no (broken) image of the pdf!?

Hi!

I just had a guess that maybe the automatic conversion was responsible for that .serendipityThumb.pdf file. :)

I'll check that thing somewohen the next day, thank you!
