Description
Hi,
I've been using this in addition to Ubercart to enable image support when uploading products. Took me a while to figure out the reason the image wasn't working, was because I did not enable GD library toolkit, part of the ImageAPI module. Can I suggest that it should be made a requirement/dependency as listed in the .info file? I'm sure a lot of people have the same problems with this because without the libraries/toolkits resizing images is not possible. Just a suggestion!

Maybe this information could be listed on the module's project page? I notice it reads "Install and enable ImageAPI module *and* one of its toolkits (GD or ImageMagick)" but I experienced similar behavior to nimrod98 when ImageMagick was available but GD Library was not. (Drupal 6.13, imagefield 6.x-3.1, imagecache 6.x-2.0-beta9, imageapi 6.x-1.6) It would be helpful to note that both toolkits are needed in the documentation for this module either with the installation instructions or as a dependency via the .info file.
