I am losing my everloving mind with this! I installed ImageMagick, located it on my computer, input the correct location, and received an error message. I’ve since followed multiple suggestions from websites and forums by trying different formats, changing various settings, installing older versions of PHP, and generally arguing excessively about all the things. And I’m still getting “The ImageMagick directory path does not work.”
You’re running Omeka locally? If so, on what OS?
If you’re continuing to have trouble with the command-line ImageMagick option you may find it easier to use a different thumbnail generator. Omeka Classic supports two options that use PHP extensions (gd and imagick) which don’t require you to set a path, just have the extension installed. (The system information screen linked at the bottom of admin pages can tell you which PHP extensions you have.)
Thanks for taking the time to respond! I was able to get it to work by deep-diving to find which version of ImageMagick is compatible (apparently not the newest one!) and installing the correct one. I don’t fully understand exactly what I did, but I followed some instructions and got it working.
