#17 Errors: 'Empty input file' and 'Unable to remap dll..'

[Rory]

Hi I've just downloaded curator and am trying to get it
to run but hit this error.

I'm running on WinXP with cygwin 1.5.2-1 (but I think
I updated the cygwin package recently but not much
else so various other bits could be older) . I just
installed Python2.3 through the cygwin setup and
installed ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8 from the win setup exe.

I'm guessing the following error is something to do with
my config but have no idea where to start.

Output was:

oh, forgot to mention that I changed the first line of the
curator script file to
#!/usr/bin/env python2.3
as python2 wasn't recognised.

hi

latest released curator with window is currently broken

incidentally, i have hacked support for PIL last week to
support a friend that needed to run it under XP as well.
there are too many issues under windows (no time for
details) to support imagemagick, and it's awkward. i'll
move everything to the PIL at some point and not support
magick anymore, the PIL is faster when it runs, easier to
install, and it's more integreated (i.e. it's python itself)

i will release the new version, go under doc directory, it
contains detailed instructions for running curator under
windows (i have personally tested this last week-- it will work)

cheers, thanks for reporting bug
