- I ran across another problem. I was checking out its command-line file
- conversion capability (doing some time trials) and the convert-to-jpg one
- would not work at all. It kept returning the message "no image to save,"
- as if it could not find the file. I got the same response even when I
- used full pathnames. Has anyone else had this problem? Specifically,
- try the following
- cview -j85 <gif_file>
- where <gif_file> is any gif file in the directory.
