[Typo3-linux] Activating GraphicsMagick on 3.8?

[Erasmo R. Acosta]

I just found the right way to do it. On page 1 of the Install Tool there is a "[GFX][im_path]=" chooser (how did I miss it before?!?!?). After I set the choser value to "/usr/local/bin/ (1.1.6)" and saved it, it changed the apropriate variables. I cleared my typo3temp directory and cleared all cache. It finally works.

BTW GraphicsMagic rocks! Features that I lost (like the blurring unselected menu item images) because of incompatibilities with ImageMagick are back. Its like magic!! :-p
