Hi,
Thanks (to all) for the nice feedbacks !
request by Damien:
"Smagick 0.1" is now available as Package Universe ;)
interfacing:
Right now the "IO" between "Smagick" and "Image Magic" via
"OSProcess" is done using "OSProcessIO". That is an intermediate
layer that composes the commands for a model (=Smagick) and returns
the parsed output (if there is any) and the process of an external
application (=Image Magick) back to it. "OSProcessIO" is using a file-
pipe for this ... yet very primitive.
I know that "Smagick" works well on Unix, Linux and MacOSX - tested
and heavily used. I don't know whether it runs on Windows. Maybe
someone can try it ? - I don't use Windows anymore ...
Cheers,
Stef
