Ah, I think I see a potential problem. It's actually a pretty common thing in Windows development using Perl, Ruby etc. When you're using the shell Windows will handle the PATH including "Program Files" as "Program\ Files" without you having to do anything. When Paperclip tries to run the command through Ruby your request gets broken up at the space between "Program Files", and it is shown as two different commands: C:\Program Files\ImageMagick\imagemagick.exe Or something to that effect. If it isn't happening with Program Files it could just as easily by happening with your temporary content, which also has a space in the path: identify C:\Local Settings\Temp\crazyfilename,0,1.jpg > > The images do get to a temp location in Local Settings\Temp, so some > moving around is happening.

Stick with it, in the end it really does make things easier. Keep in mind that all of these libraries aren't developed with WIndows in mind and you'll really have to compensate. If possible pretend your system is *nix, keep your installs in C:\lib or C:\bin and remove the path issues. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
