anduin has: ImageMagick-6.2.3-5.tar.bz2 ImageMagick-6.2.8-0.tar.bz2 ImageMagick-6.3.5-10.tar.bz2 ImageMagick-6.3.5-3.tar.bz2 ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.7.3-10.tar.xz ImageMagick-6.7.5-10.tar.xz ImageMagick-6.7.8-6.tar.xz /srv/ftp/BLFS/conglomeration/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.7.9-8.tar.xz /srv/ftp/BLFS/conglomeration/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.8.2-8.tar.bz2 /srv/ftp/BLFS/conglomeration/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.8.2-8.tar.xz /srv/ftp/BLFS/conglomeration/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.8.2-9.tar.xz > But I'm surprised nobody else hads noticed this.

Generally, I just use gimp. I tried using display on a 3932x4656 image and it was very slow (20 seconds to open) and I couldn't do anything with it. Gimp was much faster and usable. Even konqueror (I rarely use any file manager) gave me a scrollable image in less than a second. I'm not sure what I'd use for a lot of thumbnails. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
