Paperclip my Image is not recognized by the 'identify' command. (Running Windows)

Im using Paperclip to size my images but I keep getting this error

( 1 error prohibited this project from being saved: Image C:/DOCUME~1/HP_ADM~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/stream,5584,0.jpg is not recognized by the 'identify' command. )

Ive tried pretty much everything that I found online:

• Adding Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "C:\ImageMagick-6.6.6-Q16" to my development.rb
• Doing changes to the p开发者_开发百科roject.rb (removing single quotes)

I'm running windows with the latest Ruby/Rails and Paperclip 1.3.3

Im just getting into Rails and I have no idea what to do. I know this is a common problem but all of the answers I have come across havent helped.

Thanks in advance.

I was able to get this to work on Windows XP (my dev environment - deployment to Heroku worked fine) by doing the following:

1. Installing ImageMagick to c:\ImageMagick

2. editing config/environments/development.rb and adding the following

   Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "C:/ImageM~1"

3. Kill and restart the dev server to pick up the new config.

I was not able to get it to work by using "long" windows paths. Only the '~1' monstrosity. So, the only thing you might have to do is change

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "C:\ImageMagick-6.6.6-Q16"

to

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "C:/ImageM~1"

I was able to get it working more or less in the same way as Edward, with some additions:

1. Installing ImageMagick to c:\Imagick6 -> chose this path to have a folder name of not more than 8 chars
2. If you have a previous version, make sure that you remove that old version from the path and that c:\Imagick6 is in your Windows path (check with "echo %path%" on prompt)
3. edit config/environments/development.rb and add:
   Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "C:/Imagick6"
4. Kill and restart the dev server to pick up the new config
5. You might even need to restart Windows to make sure the new path is picked up (I did, could not verify whether that helped)
