ImageMagick Issues

[HittingSmoke]

I've come to the conclusion that XenForo just doesn't work well with ImageMagick.

I made a thread about it ages ago with no useful feedback.

ImageMagick works with GIFs very easily. Something about XenForo's implementation doesn't retain the format through the filter.

I planned to dig through the code to find where the problem was but I never got around to it.

Have you guys tried compiling ImageMagick with --disable-openmp? I also have MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT=1 in my php.ini and imagick version 3.1.2.

@DJ XtAzY I remember recompiling ImageMagick with OpenMP disabled to try and fix performance issues, but IIRC it didn't solve the problem of animated gifs not processing correctly.

I think the XF implementation does work under some conditions, but I think it could probably be rewritten to work more reliably across the board. If I'm correct it looks like they used an implementation someone else wrote for XF too, instead of writing their own from scratch.
