ImageMagick - paul59 - 08-07-2014
While I appreciate the power of this program and other lightweight graphics programs (for example mtpaint) does it belong in this distro, where the front page of the website propounds LL's 'simple intuitive design'? To me, it's interface is quirky and grates with the other programs that ship with LL. Given that GIMP is included and that it can do most if not all of what ImageMagick can, what purpose does the latter serve?
Please understand that this is just feedback, not criticism.. I can happily ignore the program or remove it
Paul
PS Whether or not it belongs in LL, I don't understand why it's menu entry has '(display)' after the program name - what does that mean?
Re: ImageMagick - Valtam - 08-07-2014
What software have you installed in the last few days, we don't provide ImageMagick, it would have been pulled in as a dependency of another program, not out doing paul.
Re: ImageMagick - paul59 - 08-07-2014
Valtam: That's good to know, sorry for thinking it was one of your packages! I have installed three programs since installing LL today - Grisbi (personal finance) Cherrytree (note taking app) and Inkscape (dtp/design). I guess it must be related to the latter although I have Inkscape on several other linux machines and imagemagick is not present. Bizarre!
Cheers
Paul
Re: ImageMagick - Valtam - 08-07-2014
Whatever program is the culprit here, you can try removing it with:
Code: sudo apt-get remove imagemagick
Just make sure it doesn't pull out one of the programs you need before you proceed.

Re: ImageMagick - Valtam - 08-07-2014
Try apt-cache rdepends packagename for each of the packages you personally have installed since you started using Linux Lite.
Re: ImageMagick - paul59 - 08-07-2014
I trust I've done this the right way round... i.e. apt-cache rdepends imagemagick rather than apt-cache rdepends [installed program]
Code: apt-cache rdepends imagemagick

Re: ImageMagick - Valtam - 08-07-2014
Wrong way around Use 'installed program'. eg. apt-cache rdepends inkscape
etc etc
Re: ImageMagick [Solved] - paul59 - 08-08-2014
It must be related to inkscape, although it's not listed in the output from 'apt-cache rdepends inkscape' :
Code: inkscape

I know next to nothing about package management, perhaps one of those items in turn depends upon imagemagick?
In any event, it must have been installed when I used apt-get to install inkscape (I've just opened synaptic and got the first run welcome dialog so I know I haven't inadvertently marked it for install there). imagemagick-common is also installed and when I mark it for uninstall it tells me it wants to uninstall inkscape so I'll leave that alone for now If inkscape falls over I'll re-install imagemagick itself.
Now, I just checked a Linux Mint 13 (MATE) machine at work that has inkscape installed (the same version as the one on LL), and it does have imagemagick installed... I've never noticed it though because it doesn't show up in the menu.
Bottom line, problem solved and thanks for the help!
