fix: change convert.exe syntax to avoid clash in Windows (#3416)
On Windows (I built with CMake) for some weird reason calling ImageMagick's
convert calls Windows/System32/convert.exe . It's odd because my Path env var
seems to list the mingw64 directory first, but a solution is using the 'magick'
syntax, where you just call 'magick' to convert as per
https://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php
The problem is widely known as per
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3060205/error-invalid-parameter-fom-imagemagick-convert-on-windows
, I was getting the same 'Invalid Parameter' error
The patch uses 'magick convert' (legacy syntax), instead of 'magick' for
compatibility with ImageMagick 6, since many distros don't have official
packages for ImageMagick 7, despite the release being over 5 years old:
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=imagemagick
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=imagemagick
The reason is that v7's syntax is not fully compatible with v6 but it our
syntax seems safe
TL;DR:
Instead of using ImageMagick with 'convert' use 'magick convert' since Win has
another 'convert' program
