Hi John,

I use ImageMagick 6.9.3-10 on my Mac OSX 10.11.5 and it works fine. So apparently the parameters of the ImageMagick program have been changed. If you set the logging level to 2 or higher, you should see the "convert" and "identify" commands in the logging file. If you try these commands manually from the command line, you will see if they succeed or give an error. Please post this error here so I can have a look.

Cheers,
Stefan

I think with the latest Imagemagick from brew (6.9.4-7) that pdf thumnails no longer get made; the attachment is there but the message "Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation" apears instead of the thumbnails.  I couldn't make out from elogd -v 3 why they failed, but I couldn't make out the exact convert command that was failing.  This is on MacOS 10.11.5 and I think the updated version ofImagemagick was the last thing that changed before it failed.

 

Since I posted that, there have been multiple versions of Imagemagick released through brew for the Mac in the last few weeks, and I'm now using 6.9.4-9, which seems to work fine with thumbnails again, indeed, I noticed that as soon as 6.9.4-8 was released, I was back to normal, but thanks for the debugging pointer.
