Guys
3.1 boasts the ability to use Imagemagick as in "Optional integration with ImageMagick as a new image manipulation backend" but how? I cant see a config anywhere except perhaps in Image.php:
static $backend = "GDBackend";
There is no other reference to Imagemagick or a suitable "convert" in the code that I can find.

Add to _config.php this line:
if(class_exists('Imagick')){Image::set_backend('ImagickBackend');}
it has also few issues so here's a patch:

I didn't try looking for imagick as a string! Thanks for that.
Any clues as to how to get the image class to make a thumbnail from a pdf? Imagick does that fine but the default in SS is an icon
Perhaps hack the definition in File.php
Since if imagick is used people will always want pdf thumbs this should be standard.
Julian
Agreed, but it's still buggy as u can see in framework/filesystem/ImagickBackend.php some variables like $destX and $destY aren't set. I guess it's just draft version.
