Web File Share can make use of ImageMagick utility for generating image thumbnails and previews for PDF, PSD and other advanced file formats. ImageMagick also enables support for large (high-res) pictures in Web File Share.
GraphicsMagick (http://www.graphicsmagick.org) can also be used, and in some cases it can be faster and more efficient than ImageMagick
Please see http://www.imagemagick.org
Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) plotter files (.plt) can also be previewed with Web File Share and ImageMagick by installing “Hp2xx” (http://www.gnu.org/software/hp2xx/hp2xx.html). Windows version available here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/hp2xx.htm
If you are running a Windows server, we recommend you to install ImageMagick to a path without space characters (like “Program Files”). You can install it for example to a path like “C:/ImageMagick”.
For ImageMagick to be able to generate thumbnails for PDF documents you will also need to install Ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html).
To enable ImageMagick please follow these steps:
Example of valid paths:
Windows servers: C:/ImageMagick/convert.exe Windows servers: C:/"Program Files"/ImageMagick/convert.exe Linux servers: /usr/bin/convert
If you see broken icons instead of thumbnails:
