`org-download-clipboard` uses legacy `convert` on Windows

Open dominique-unruh opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

On Windows (incl. cygwin) org-download-clipboard tries to use the convert command line utility from ImageMagick. convert is legacy (and not installed by default anymore). magick can be used instead (e.g. magick clipboard: test.png saves the clipboard as a PNG).

Using convert on Windows fails without error message because there is a builtin c:/WINDOWS/system32/convert.exe (at least on Windows 11) that converts filesystems, so this one is used.
