Depression

[RS232]

Hi
Sorry for the title, I know it doesn't help, but that's how I feel after 4 hours of troubleshooting.
I really hope you can help me because I don't know what to do next.

intro: Recently I found a nasty problem with coppermine and imagemagick on my system.
Imagemagick was (is) not able to create files smaller than 60K (more or less).
I've than posted a query on the Imagemagick support forum, please have a look:
http://studio.imagemagick.org/magick/viewtopic.php?t=2016

Now, running imagemagick from the command line with the -strip option it works! Fine. This is what I'm looking for.
So the problem was "only" the EXIF header which can be removed with this -strip parameter.
Again: using the command line it works!

Now I've entered the coppermine config page,
and added -strip after the default -antialias.

Conclusion: It still create images (even the smallest thumbnail) of 61315 byte  

This affects my old Coppermine 1.2.1 installation and the new Coppermine 1.3beta4 (different directory and different database)

I've already upgraded Imagemagick to the latest version

I've tried to remove the -antialias option

I've tried to disable the "Read EXIF data in JPEG files" option


Result: Nothing of nothing. Even the smallest thumbnail (when I do a batch add files) is big 61315 bytes.

Please help if you can

Thanks
