Run() & Imagemagick question

[Matthew1344]

Okay... I give up... all I want to do is run the Imagemagick command line to resize an image. What am I doing wrong?

For $i = 1 To $CmdLine[0]
    $nextPicPath = $CmdLine[$i]
    ResizePic($nextPicPath)
Next

Func ResizePic($myPicPath)
    $myPathPieces = StringSplit($myPicPath, "\")
    $myFilename = $myPathPieces[$myPathPieces[0]]
    $myCmd = "convert """ & $myPicPath & """ -resize 800 ""C:\Temp\" & $myFilename & """"
    Run($myCmd)
EndFunc

Of course ShellExecute doesn't work either.

However, when I run $myCmd manually, it does work.

Is the convert file in a directory thats in your %PATH% (enviroment variable)? If not, you might want to include the full path to the file in your $myCmd var.

Yes. I can ConsoleWrite $myCmd, copy and paste to the command line, and it works fine. (from anywhere)

Yeah... I knew about the COM object. I was just hoping to keep it as simple as possible. I've never had any difficulty in running a simple command before.

I plan to use the COM object, but I'm still terribly curious why the above didn't work.

[Matthew1344]

Okay... Yes... the COM component works.

But why doesn't the command line?

What error do you get?

That's just it. There's no error. The conversion simply doesn't happen. The Windows console window pops up briefly, but it's too fast to even produce any visible output.
