Mogrify / imagemagick problem

Hi,

I am running a site on windows, with 1.3.10.
Since the upgrade, resizing images does not work anymore.

Now, when I want to upload a picture, I get a file not found error.
The issue is that the command sent to mogrify exe puts ' ' sing quotes around the filenae of the picture, and those are considered to be a part of the name. so the file cannot be found.

I went into debug, and checked the command, removed the quotes and entered the command into a dosbox - it worked.

So is there an error on my side that this happens? or is there a bug? Why is there a quote around the filename in the firstplace?

The quotes are there so that "a long file.gif" will be considered 1 file and not 3 files.

Now try to read this line without the quotes. See, it's even needed for humans!

Well this is not necessary since the files that are created will have the name of the story ID already at this point, which does not have any spaces in it.

I changed now line 528 in the upload.class.php and it works fine now.

Until the first user with a space in their username tries to upload a userphoto ...

Those quotes are necessary, although I think for Windows, they should be double quotes, not single quotes. That should also work on Unix, Linux, etc.

bye, Dirk
