Firstly the guidance on the setup screen is somewhat misleading in that it suggests that you should put the file name of the imagemagick convert.exe at the end of the input box for the pathname. If I put in convert.exe it does not work, if however I omit the ".exe" it works.

Secondly the create content screen is rather confusing in that in the preview screen it does not transfer the specified file name to the input box although it generates a preview based on the filename input on the previous screen, thus for the submit to work you have to specify the source file a second time.

Thirdly I can't get either the fast or slow directory loads to work - I suspect that maybe connected with the problem above but then again I'm only a user. On which point I will ask for advice on submitting the above as bug reports - the CVS system seems to be designed for high-autistic geeks and is way beyond me!

What versions of Drupal and Image module you use?
Do you set all correct permissins and paths?
And you sure that your ImageMagick installation is correct?
I`m running Drupal 4.5 on local FreeBSD machine - and fit works correct for now... but for the first time was 2 problems - permissions and paths, and ImageMagick (i setup it from ports)

I'm running the latest version (4.5).

Problems left are getting the directory uploads to work (I can create image nodes now) and the fact that the gallery pages give access denied unless you are logged in - however the individual image pages are visible!

I'm finding the scrappy documentation very frustrating, especially after moving from phpNuke where in general you could google a problem and find the answer.
