This post describes how to resolve the imagemagick and jpegtran missing errors on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The instructions provided might help others using Windows or Linux variants. Install the latest Standalone Gallery Remote and its patches. For Mac OS X users, I highly recommend using macports to install ImageMagick over other methods. Don't follow the instructions to install IM on the IM site (and where the Gallery site refers you). They are useless. Instead after installing macports, add the following to your .profile or .bash_profile: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH sudo port install ImageMagick Test your installation of IM. Open an X11 session: Applications/Utilities/X11 Enter in the Terminal: $ convert logo: logo.gif Now let's get jpegtran installed. Follow the instructions here. Finally configure Gallery Remote to look in the proper place for everything. Open the folder that contains Gallery Remote, control-click on it and select "Show Package Contents". A new window pops up. Open: /Applications/Gallery Remote/Gallery Remote.app/jpegtran/jpegtran.properties Change these settings: # should lossless cropping be enabled? # path to the executable, including the name of the executable (jpegtran) Open: Change this setting: Launch Gallery. Rejoice! Hopefully this saves others hours of frustration. Please add your comments. |
