Great find. I’m heading over to the download page now!

I tested this as it really seems interesting, but… It seems that the thing does not work in windows xp. When trying to export an image it complains “Failed to run Mogrify, aborting export” with a command line that seems completely valid for me. Is anyone else experiencing this? (Could it be that as my windows account contains skandinavian “ä” in it and thus in the export destination path, the LrTasks.execute is having trouble with it?)

The ImageMagic is porprely installed, and I have perfectly well working export actions (as a bat-file) utilising convert.exe.

As an addition to previous anonymous comment: the scandinavian characters in the export destination path seems to be the problem. When exporting to alternate location (where destination path does not containt “ä”) everything works like a charm. I’ll email the author…

Scandinavian characters are an issue? Hmm I’ll mention that to the team too, but there at least one Swede and one Norwegian tester.. I’m sure the issue is probably with the SDK, and not with Tim.

Hi,

Yes, it seems that scandinavian characters are the issue (running Windows XP Home SP2 with location set to Finland, Lightroom 1.3.1). Everything runs smooth as long as there are no “special” characters in the paths. And this is not limited to destination path only, the same issue pops up when the mogrify.exe executable is located in the directory that has scandinavia characters in it’s name (I tested with C:\hämärä\mogrify.exe).

This really looks like an Lightroom/SDK issue, not necessarily related to mogrify plugin.I would not expect this to be an issue on this milleneum

I did some testing by modifying the original LUA-code in a way that I can see how it actually traslates the scandinacian characters when executing external command (by using io.write to pull the mogrify command line into bat-file, as was suggested by Herb Albert in http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c0595e1).

The result is that scandinavian characters do get incorrectly translated. So this looks like a SDK-issue (again, running Windows XP Home). However, the error message window displayed by Lightroom has everything in place just as it should, so the problem is likely on the LrTasks.Execute (?).

I also dropped a message to Timothy.

I really hope that this (presumed) characterset issue get solved somehow. With almost 300€ piece of software one should not have it…

The issue is not with the 300€ piece of software. It’s the free software which we (I also suffer from this inconsistent issue) are using.
