Stuck with -a or -m commands

[dodikridwan]

I tried the -a command, but got stuck here

And I tried again with the -m command, but still the same problem

I have tried many times, from reinstalling, checking the .conf file but still can't. Any help, or fix?

I think there is such a bug with the ImageMagick or some device, you can read this issue #16 (comment)

because in my case, I haven't found any bug like this before. Here my version uses

Package	Version
imagemagick	7.1.1-21 Q16-HDRI aarch64 21667
inotify-tools	4.23.9.0
bc	1.07.1
ncurses-utils	6.4.20231001

If you want to try if ImageMagick is working ok, you can put the code from one of the functions from binary Awesomeshot and then run it on your terminal, e.g., convertBorder function to add background:

1. Load the config

source ~/.config/awesomeshot/awesomeshot.conf

2. Try export variable file_name

export file_name="/some/location/ex-foo-bar.png"

3. Run the function

Note: This function you can find in $PREFIX/lib/awesomeshot/convertBackground.sh

convert "$file_name" -bordercolor "#FFFFFF" -border ${background_border_size} "$file_name"

Example Run

4. Result

Hi, thanks for reply. I have used your method to check ImageMagick, and it was successful.

But when I use the old method, by typing awesomeshot -a or -m commands it still doesn't work. And still stuck at "Backup original photo"

Then I changed contents of the awesomeshot.conf file in the Backup original photo section from "yes" to " " (empty). And a syntax error appears.

Please explain how to fix it, I really appreciate your kind feedback. ^^

it's you use older version awesomeshot earlier then upgrade to the newer version?

if yes, what if you re-generate the new config of awesomeshot with this command:

awesomeshot -c

then press Y + ENTER

because if i'm not forgot the newer version have different config
