           Summary: Batch operation "resize" fails saying convert cannot be
                    started correctly
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: 0.1.5-beta1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging kde org
        ReportedBy: krienke uni-koblenz de


Version:           0.1.5-beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          4.2.1 
OS:                Linux

I am runnign openSuSE 10.3 with digikam 0.9.3 beta3 and kipi-plugins 0.1.5 beta1 (compiled from tar-file). 

Trying to batch resize one or more photos from a resolution of about 3400x5800 to a resolution of x*3000 only specifying one proportion (3000) with resize option cubic (make no difference if I try another option here) I get the error message that convert could not be started. The photo is not resized. The messagebox says:
"Cannot run properly 'convert' program from 'ImageMagick' package"

Running strace I can see that actually convert is called  like this: /opt/kde3/bin/convert -resize 1937x3000 -quality 80 -verbose Image100.jpg

Running this command maually this works fine. 

Initially convert could not be found since it was searched only in /opt/kde3/bin and on my system it is in /usr/bin . Perhaps this is due to the fact that I called configure using --prefix=/opt/kde3/bin when compiling kipi-plugins. Next I places a symbolic ling in /opt/kde3/bin that points to /usr/bin/convert and this leads to the error just described.

There is no debug output to stderr or stdout (compiled using --enable-debug=full).
