Thanks for your work on this. Had it up and running in about 10 minutes and that included installing imagemagick. Good stuff!

This works great except that my images were being returned with an extra “/” at the beginning of the path. There was an error log message about a depreciated function for “remove_double_slashes”. Looks like this may need an update :)

This is a great little addon. I had to fix an issue with PDFs in CMYK format coming out funny in JPEG. On line 196, change the colorspace to sRGB instead of RGB. Working great now.

The only issue I had with this plugin is that it did not auto create the image directory.  Missed that in the instructions the first time.  Works great now.

Seems like a very usable plugin, but I can’t get it working. The debug lines always say:

**Thumber** convert: missing an image filename `/var/www/vhosts/...........’.
