There should be a checkbox on options > image

i am not seeing it; i even installed a fresh copy of yesterdays nightly build onto another site on the same server and the check box is still not showing up...

imagick module version: @PACKAGE_VERSION@

could this be the problem?

That would certainly be the problem. Why your module version would be showing like that, however, I have no clue. You will probably need to contact your host about this issue. Perhaps recompiling Imagick would fix the package version.

hi, i have installed imagick-3.0.1 and i have activated Imagick in zenphoto succesfully. But the tif s are still not working/shown ... any suggestions?

thx

It is probably not installed correctly on your server then. Note that some file formats in Imagick require extra packages to be installed. See the imagick website for info.

ok - thx for the tip

i found the problem: my files have the ending ".tif" ... with ".tiff" its working

It does seem possilbe that the library is excluding "tif", But the expert on the library, kagutsuchi would have to comment on that. He is a bit busy with school right now, so may take a bit for a response.

libtiff supports both .tiff and the alternative .tif. ImageMagick gets information directly from that lib, so it really should work for both unless something is screwed up in the configuration of libtiff, ImageMagick, or Imagick. You'll have to see if your host can find the issue.

I also had a lot of problems with the "red lightning bolt" (red crack? red slash? What the heck IS that thing) appearing for thumbnails.

Resolved it by enabling imagemagick, deleting all the files (not directories!) under cache.

As noted above, getting imagemagick installed properly can be a pain -- you have to have ImageMagick the tool, and imagemagick the php extension as well. Finally broke down and installed pecl and imagick, which required PHP 5.4, which wanted a later version of MySQL, which wanted a horse, which wanted a nail, etc. Ugh.

But at least my thumbnails work now. Sigh.

I'm also having trouble getting the Imagick option to be enabled on options | image ("The Imagick extension is not available.") I'm working with the provider of my hosted VPS to ensure that all the elements are installed and configured correctly. They say that:
. Package ImageMagick-6.7.8.9-15.el7_2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
. We enabled ImageMagick for PHP 5.6.
. We have have added extension=imagick.so to your local.ini for PHP 5.6 and restarted Apache

I can see this extension in the php.ini file, but there's no sign of it in my phpInfo.php output, which I assume is the problem. I know this is not a hosting forum, but does anyone have any tips on what else needs to happen?

For the record, I pushed the issue with the hosting provider and a supervisor replied "It appear the imagick and it's dependencies were not fully installed. I have corrected this for you now. " It's working now. This may help others with this issue.

You additionally need the Imagick PHP extension which hooks on ImageMagick. ImageMagick alone does not work.

I think that was part of the problem. As I said, there was no sign of imagick in phpinfo.php so I strongly suspected that the Imagick PHP extension was missing. Now it is there and all is good.
