[Typo3-dev] PNG, frames and ImageMagick 5

[Stephane]

Hello,

I have made a bit more progress in understanding the specific issue I have.
Please see my 3 questions at the bottom of this email.

Let me recap first (I use Typo3.6RC2 on Gentoo Linux with ImageMagick 5, Gdlib
2) :

- Typo3 would not generate thumbnails in the BE for any .png files I would
submit
=> I could resolve by removing the .'[0]' in $this->input.'[0]' in thumbs.php

- Typo3 would not generate miniatures in the "view item" window for any .png
files I would submit
=> I could resolve by setting $TYPO3_CONF_VARS["GFX"]["im_noFramePrepended"] to
1 in the install tool

What's new since last post:

- I have isolated the issue with being ONLY with PNG files - These two issues
did NOT appear with GIF JPG or BMP image files with the original Typo3 files
and settings. Therefore I assume my ImageMagick install correctly understands
the frame [0] added to the filenames for non PNG files.

Here are my questions:

- Is this a general issue seen with IM 5 with PNG files ?
- Should we have some specific processing for PNG files - i.e. not try using
frames when trying to open these files ?
- If so, should this be a TYPO3_CONF_VARS settable option ?

Stephane
