Yep, ImageMagick is installed (even reinstalled it)
Same problem when I put the whole path :

Code: Select all

C:\Users\geoff>convert -coalesce "C:\Users\geoff\OneDrive\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\SHIELD Agent Module\@Resources\Images\Mainframe Boot\MainframeBoot.gif" "C:\Users\geoff\OneDrive\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\SHIELD Agent Module\@Resources\Images\Mainframe Boot\MainframeBoot.png"
Paramètre non valide - "C:\Users\geoff\OneDrive\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\SHIELD

It seems the space causing the trouble, but to be honest I'm not sure why. Maybe try using simple quote (') instead of the double(") into the command. Does this help?

Nope, same thing.
I tried yesterday form the main downloads path (C:\Downloads), so no spaces, and it was the same problem.

Although I doubt this is the problem, what is the exact path of the convert.exe file (installed by ImageMagick)?

Just saying, ImageMagick is not the only tool that can deconstruct GIF files to separate PNGs and such. Photoshop can do it, even some video editors do it, and so on. Most of them don't need to be executed from the command line either...

Right and online tools are also available. So any of the followings: I tried the first one and I can say it works. Although I didn't try the last two, I suppose they are also working. So finally probably ImageMagick isn't even needed, especially if it doesn't work.
Sorry I missed this advice on time.

Photoshop definitely is much better, however if you simply want to get the frames, I recommend the first link I posted.

Well, to create the [imagemeter] I just need the frames in .png ? So I think the site will do, since I don't know how to do it with Photoshop (I'll look for a tuto anyway).
