Requested action with this object has failed ImageMagick

[tilly]

Hallow,

Im using the ImageMagickObject.dll for basic testing and i get the error: The requested action with this object has failed.:

$oImg.Convert("C:\Downloads\autoIT\ImageMagicAutoIt\logo.jpg", "-scale", "60%x", "C:\Downloads\autoIT\ImageMagicAutoIt\logoDDdffD.jpg")

$oImg.Convert("C:\Downloads\autoIT\ImageMagicAutoIt\logo.jpg", "-scale", "60%x", "C:\Downloads\autoIT\ImageMagicAutoIt\logoDDdffD.jpg")^ ERROR

I still am able to get the result im after, but when i build it i get prity much the same error as follows

AutiIt Error

Line-1:

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

Dose any one else using the ImageMagickObject.dll get the same error?

If so have you got a way around it.

Hi:

These are guesses since I have not used imagemagik from AutoIt....

1. Since you are using it as a COM Object, is it registered properly?

FileInstall("ImageMagickObject.dll",@SystemDir&"\ImageMagickObject.dll",0)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c regsvr32 /s ImageMagickObject.dll",@SystemDir,@SW_HIDE)

2. Does the "60%x" really need the "x"?

Will this work? or work different?

$oImg.Convert("C:\Downloads\autoIT\ImageMagicAutoIt\logo.jpg", "-scale", "60%", "C:\Downloads\autoIT\ImageMagicAutoIt\logoDDdffD.jpg")

Hi DaRam

Ok. Do you have a custom error trap that can provide enhanced DLL Error details, if so provide the details.

If not, this is how:

Add this before the ObjCreate("ImageMagick...

$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "ComErrHandler")

Then add this Function in your Script:

Func ComErrHandler()
    $HexNumber = Hex($oMyError.number, 8)
    MsgBox(0, "COM Error", "COM Error Details:" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
            "err.description is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.description & @CRLF & _
            "err.windescription:" & @TAB & $oMyError.windescription & @CRLF & _
            "err.number is: " & @TAB & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _
            "err.lastdllerror is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.lastdllerror & @CRLF & _
            "err.scriptline is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.scriptline & @CRLF & _
            "err.source is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.source & @CRLF & _
            "err.helpfile is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.helpfile & @CRLF & _
            "err.helpcontext is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.helpcontext _
            )
    SetError(1)
EndFunc  ;==>ComErrHandler

Thanks for the tip,

the com error details i get is not very helpful but here it is,

----------------------------

COM Error Details:

--

err.description is:

err.windescription is:

err.number is: 80020009

err.lastdllerror is: 0

err.scriptline is: 161

err.source is: ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1

err.helpfile is:

err.helpcontext is: 0

------------------------------------

hope that helps :$

we know that "error.scriptline is the line"

Ok, i commented out the custom error MSG, and now i dont have any prolbems with it.

What ive done prolby insnt the best way of handling it, but at least it runs in the compled exe now and dosnt display any errors whatso ever.

That did not help

• Does other calls to ImageMagick work?
• Does the sequence of parameters matter?
• What if you supplied an additional dummy parameter?

Other than this, I'm out of ideas.

On an aside, I preferred to use "freeimage.dll" rather than ImageMagick. I found it less invasive, since it can just exist in the same folder as your script and does not need to be registered.

no other calls seem to result in the same error, othe sequences dont help and the dummy params freze the app,

any way its useable now with the custom error handler,

ill lookinto freeimade.dll

thanks for the help

cheers
