imagemagick

Supposedly have IM installed, but when click its app listing under graphics, nothing happens; just back to full screen.
Any idea what I'm missing?

Yes. I think it's commandline. I think you'll have to get a front-end for it.

Code:

list imagemagick|grep /usr/bin
imagemagick /usr/bin/

imagemagick /usr/bin/MagickCore-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/MagickWand-config
imagemagick /usr/bin/animate
imagemagick /usr/bin/compare
imagemagick /usr/bin/composite
imagemagick /usr/bin/conjure
imagemagick /usr/bin/convert
imagemagick /usr/bin/display
imagemagick /usr/bin/identify
imagemagick /usr/bin/import
imagemagick /usr/bin/magick
imagemagick /usr/bin/magick-script
imagemagick /usr/bin/mogrify
imagemagick /usr/bin/montage
imagemagick /usr/bin/stream

afaics all these are command line tools, except 'display'.

you could go into your /usr/share/applications and look at its desktop file to see why it is being added to your menu, look at the Exec=" what ever " line to see what it is suppose to be calling to give you more insight as to why that is even in your menu.

the IM gui -- if you can call it that
is called " display "

open a TERMINAL and type in display and hit enter button

if there is an error please post that

Everyone's input helped get problem solved [didn't realize how much of it was command line]. Now am looking into graphics magick.

GM is the same as IM

the two are mostly still the same code

and GM uses "display" also

both are mostly ( as in 99% ) for use in a terminal or a script or linking one of the libraries in a program
