Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.In _image_exec() in image.imagemagick.inc, imagecache runs the preset commands like this:popen("start \"bla\" $cmd", "r").
As a result of using start to run this task in the background, the file_move command at imagecache.module::129 gets run before the thumbnail image gets created in the temp directory, so the full resolution image gets copied back into the /files/imagecache/presetname folder which fouls things up for good, since imagecache won't try to regenerate the image once there's a file in the preset subdirectory.
I changed that line in image.imagemagick.inc to:popen($cmd, "r"), and it seems to be working.
Is there a reason to run the conversion as a background process and if so, is there a way to wait for the command(s) to finish before copying the generated file out of the temp directory?

sunThe previous ImageMagick project is discontinued and won't be developed further.
This project is going to be replaced with a generic ImageMagick image toolkit compatible with D7+, mostly derived from the ImageAPI project.
Note: If you are an ImageMagick expert, please apply as maintainer or co-maintainer in the queue. See http://drupal.org/node/363367 for details. I'm only interim maintainer to kick-start the project.
