Hi Vague,
I'm the one who wrote WxCenter and SixelGallery.
First thing to note, SixelGallery is outdated, and I've completely reworked it into a new mod named Digital Showroom (dsr.js). The reason for the name change is because it's more of a general purpose file browser/viewer, and displaying sixels represents a fraction of what it does. I use it as my main ANSI & image viewer now (it's great for art packs!). You can try it out and download it from my board (see the QWK tagline at the bottom).
Now, to answer your questions:
Va> I've edited path_to_im_conv in the settings.ini to the directory where
Va> convert.exe is ...
Depending on the version of ImageMagick you're using, the name of the executable may either be "convert.exe" or "magick.exe", since all the converting functionality got merged into the one magick utility at some point. Make sure you're including the name of the executable itself in the path.
Va> pop up and close really quickly, then get a "No output found" error.
The "No output found" error happens when the resulting sixel data isn't present after the conversion attempt. The most likely reason is because you don't have the correct name of the executable specified in the path.
Let me know how it goes. Feel freel to post you're settings.ini file.
Or, better yet, scrap SixelGallery and go with Digital Showroom. :) It's a much improved version of the same thing.
