Tested ExactImage for image conversion (Linux) - faster

Just passing this along.

If you install ExactImage
http://www.exactcode.com/site/open_source/exactimage/
(and I found it in the Ubuntu Software Center)

and substitute the conversion path of system.imagemagick.comvert from:
/usr/bin/convert

to instead:
/usr/bin/econvert

image previews seem to run a wee bit faster.

And maybe this could be a gateway to incorporating searchable PDF into OpenKM????

I will take note about it and we'll revise this interesting utilities page.

Interesting utility. I have made some test and works faster than ImageMagik convert:
Code: Select all
$ time convert Imágenes/ss-001.png ss-01.pdf

real	0m0.251s
user	0m0.300s
sys	0m0.016s

$ time econvert -i Imágenes/ss-001.png -o ss-02.pdf

real	0m0.107s
user	0m0.096s
sys	0m0.012s
And maybe this could be a gateway to incorporating searchable PDF into OpenKM????

But I can't understand the relation with searchable PDFs.

Also I have checked OpenKM source code and a changing system.imagemagick.convert to "/usr/bin/econvert" should not work because both utilities do not have the same parameters.

Same software developer, different utility. Might have some of the same code base though
