Substitute for ImageMagick

As so often: do not tell us just your conclusions, but tell what you did and what happened.

E.g. I also searched for it. I went for a method that will suit the haters of the command line: YaST > Software > Software Management and filled in ImageMagick in the Search filed and then clicked Search (does not sound that as a logical thing to do?). Surprise: 25 packages with either ImageMagick as part of their name, or with ImageMagick mentioned in the description (so they are related). Not only that, but eight of those packages, amongst them one just called ImageMagick (probably the center of your interest) are already installed. I can not remember that I did that, so it could either be by default, or because I did it years ago (surviving all upgrades) and forgot.

I have only the standard repositories plus Packman enabled.

And selecting package ImageMagick and using the Versions tab, it shpws that it is available from Main (OSS) repo and has three updated versions in the Updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise repo

So, I would say that your statement “ImageMagick is not available to install from default repositories” should be difficult to prove.

Edit, I see you found out you probably misspelled it. In any case you kept a few people busy for some minutes

Fortunately since I was using the command line I can backtrack. I was executing the following script.

#!/bin/bash

mogrify -resize 640 *.jpg
mogrify -resize 640 *.JPG

and it reported

> ./doit640.sh./doit640.sh: line 3: mogrify: command not found
./doit640.sh: line 4: mogrify: command not found

So I executed in another window logged in as root

# zypper install ImageMagicLoading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'ImageMagic' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'ImageMagic' found.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

Please note that I used zypper as I prefer it to YaST, and that I incorrectly wrote that I had used YaST. Now I searched on the Internet for “opensuse 15.4 install ImageMagic” and clicked on the first link, it being https://software.opensuse.org/package/ImageMagick. This page told me
"

There is no official package available for openSUSE Leap 15.4

which merely confirmed what I thought. So then I tried to install two of the Community packages, 7.1.0.37 and 7.1.0.53. Neither one succeeded as some repositories addresses did not exist. I am not going to go through with re-installing to report the missing repositories as it will add several others that I will then have to remove, but if it’s really important to you I will do it at a later time. I do remember that they had the characters SP in the addresses.
