In D2123, the package ImageMagick7 could have been used, but igal2 package still depends of ImageMagick 6.
As igal2 only uses ImageMagick to create thumbnails, without any alpha / colorspace manipulation, it should work with ImageMagick 7.
Command analysis
The following commands are used at commit 26e31b7efc4 in igal2 Perl script:
Line | ImageMagick 6 command | ImageMagick 7 command | Status |
367 | convert $opt_con -scale x$opt_y \"$fullfile\" \"$fullthumb\" | ||
371 | identify -ping -format \"\%wx\%h %b\" \"$fullfile\" | ||
379 | convert $opt_con -scale $dimension \"$fullfile\" \"$fullthumb\" | ||
404 | identify -ping -format \"\%wx\%h %b\" \"$fullfile\" | ||
430 | convert $opt_con -scale x$opt_bigy \"$fullfile\" \"$fullslide\" | ||
446 | identify -ping -format \"\%wx\%h %b\" \"$fullslide\" | ||
636 | identify -ping -format \"\%wx\%h %b\" \"$opt_d\/$opt_dest.$itile\" | ||
638 | mogrify -scale x$opt_t $opt_d/$opt_dest.$itile | ||
721 | identify -ping -format \"\%wx\%h\" \"$opt_d/$thumb\" | ||
-ping allows to "efficiently determine image characteristics" (command line options).
