Problem with graphics modules editor

[Hal Davey]

Pekka; I want to thank you for your help getting me up and running.
I'm using EE 1.5 RC3 . One problem that I ran into in setting up the graphics module, was the dialog for entering the paths to ImageMagick's convert and composite programs. No matter what was entered it was rejected as "path not valid" when I knew that not to be the case. In frustration I decided to enclose the paths in double quotes and suddenly everything was ok. If these quotes are necessary, that should be indicated in the dialog box.
Thanks,
Harold

I have never heard that quotes are needed so it never occurred me to say so. But in most cases they are not needed and sometimes they can even produce error messages.

It could be that quotes are needed it path name contains spaces. What was your path name?

Thanks for reporting this. This is good info to add to FAQ and setup manual :)

Pekka; Just to remind you - I'm running on my computer with a localhost set-up so that has something to do with it - . The path to ImageMagick on my machine is;
C:/program files/imagemagick/--------.exe

Now that you mention spaces - the folder name "program files" may have been the culprit . So perhaps as you noted, quotes are needed if there is a space in the path string. A note to that effect in the manual might save someone else a lot of hair :-) Enclosing the path string in quotes got it working for me.
Cheers,
Harold
