Follow-up: Homebrew and Thumbnails on OS X

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

This post is a quick follow-up to my original article Homebrew: Share thumbnails and previews on OS X.



Some additions to the imagemagick-transform.properties file were introduced as a bug-fix to 4.1.6 Enterprise Edition and subsequently 4.2.d Community and all newer versions of Alfresco. The additions were:

img.coders=${img.root}\\modules\\coders

img.config=${img.root}\\config

img.gslib=${img.root}\\lib

As ImageMagick installed via Homebrew uses a slightly different folder structure, we'll need to override these three properties in alfresco-global.properties in order to restore thumbnail functionality in OS X.

# Overrides for imagemagick-transform.properties

img.coders=${img.root}/lib/ImageMagick/modules-Q16/coders

img.config=${img.root}/lib/ImageMagick/config-Q16

img.gslib=${img.root}/lib

That's it!
