Title: Re: ImageMagick Problem
Good catch! When I run the following from Terminal, now they all work.:

FleisherK:~ k-fleisher$ tiffutil -info ~/Desktop/test/242-142.tif
FleisherK:~ k-fleisher$ sips -g format ~/Desktop/test/242-142.tif
FleisherK:~ k-fleisher$ file ~/Desktop/test/242-142.tif

However, I still can't figure out how to trigger the same result from AppleScript:

-- Set up properties likely to be used in multiple commands
property pathToImageMagickLibraries : "export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/ImageMagick-6.3.5/lib;"
property pathToImageMagickCommands : "/usr/ImageMagick-6.3.5/bin/"

-- Build the shell command
set cmd to pathToImageMagickLibraries & pathToImageMagickCommands
set cmd to cmd & "identify -verbose "
set cmd to cmd & "~/Desktop/test/*.tif"
--display dialog cmd
-- Execute the command
do shell script cmd

-- Result
tell current application
   do shell script "export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/ImageMagick-6.3.5/lib;/usr/ImageMagick-6.3.5/bin/identify -verbose ~/Desktop/test/*.tif"
       "identify: no decode delegate for this image format `/Users/k-fleisher/Desktop/test/242-142.tif'."


Regarding your other comments, the whole reason for installing ImageMagick was because it gives me some information that I cannot get from the other utilities, in particular the block size for JPEG files. I’ll test the performance once I can get it up and running.


Okay, your last e-mail just came in about fixing the path in AppleScript. I tried the change you suggested and got the same result. My original code tried to get the posix path to the desktop, but when I tried to concatenate with the rest of the file path, there were quote marks inserted which messed it up. I couldn’t figure out how to make that work, so I just started trying to hard code the whole path just to see if I could get ImageMagick working first.
