Hello
don't change the default configuration but use Localfiles Editor to manage your own local configuration

if you used the value "ext_imagick" for "graphics_library", you need to add a value for "ext_imagick_dir". But if you converted tiff's that means you did it right

you are using a recent version of ImageMagick

Honestly I don't see what's wrong: Piwigo is telling to ImageMagick to create file which has $conf['tiff_representative_ext'] as extension. So if $conf['tiff_representative_ext'] is jpg, that should creates jpgs. Since you are changing core files, are you sure your changes in /include/config_default.inc.php have not been overwrite but an update?

You *have to* install Localfiles, add your changes and then overwrite the /include/config_default.inc.php to the provided one in our zip.

about your issue, you can manually try to run the convert command as Piwigo does, asking for a jpg file, for one tiff among the one who are represented by a png.
I unfortunately don't know an easy way to regenerate the representative picture once the file uploaded... the process happens only at the upload to my knowledge. So you would need to delete and reupload.

Are you sure the png files were made with $conf['tiff_representative_ext'] = 'jpg'; set? and those waere deleted after preliminary tries and before retries...?

Hello Flop25.

From what i can see that the pictures is generated in two directories?

Is this normal?
From what i can see from the generated .jpg files is not the same count?

I can run the command in the shell "/_data/i/upload# find . -type f -name '*.png' -delete"
After i run the batch manager, i can see it will regenerate pictures again.
I have also changed the code back to the original in "/include/config_default.inc.php"

// 'png' or 'jpg': your uploaded TIF photos will have a representative in
// JPEG or PNG file format
$conf['tiff_representative_ext'] = 'png';

And added the code to localEditor

$conf['tiff_representative_ext'] = 'jpg';
$conf['graphics_library'] = 'ext_imagick';
$conf['ext_imagick_dir'] = '/usr/share/ImageMagick-6';

I have searched for the "ext_imagick_dir" you mentioned, but didn't seems to make any difference.
Just keeps generating .png for this exact files...

But maybe it can't do this to the .tif files?
Can't surely see that its .tif files getting generated as .jpg instead of .png..
Do we know how to make sure it can convert to the correct format?

Hello,

Do you have some documentation of the ImageMagick command that Piwigo is running?

Hello,

Thank you for the reply!
I will look into this..

Im just a bit curious about why it keeps selecting ".png" as a convert format instead of ".jpg" - do the mySQL database have something to do about this? Telling files where and which format it should do?

I have reverted my configuration changes made to original files, and ONLY using the localEditor client for changes.

It will be great to find a solution to this problem, due to i cannot find any link to why it keeps making .png - because its always the same files keeping get generated to ".png".

Also..

I cannot find the "functions_upload" file?
So maybe this is where the error starts?

you would have much more critical errors ^^
It's in /admin/include

When i run this command manually - how do i get Piwigo to look at the new converted file, instead of the old one?

you will be able to put the representative jpeg file along the png one, but I suspect there will be a manual database manipulation in order to reflect the png>jpeg change

But first, my point was to execute the same command as Piwigo does in order to find out where the problem lies; is it from piwigo, from IM ...?
