I moved my BBS over to a newer PC and I noticed my sixel gallery no longer produces images for the viewer. It worked fine on the old laptop I ran my BBS on for 16 years but after the move over to the newer PC it no longer sends the output to view. I am sure it is something obvious I am missing. Does anyone do anything special with PATH? I have c:\sbbs\ImageMagick-7.1.1-Q16-HDRI\magick.exe in my windows system path like on the laptop. What else should be added so it can find the output? I include my log and setting data for your review,

Of course, I posted in haste. I left that tidbit out in error. I added sbbsctrl=c:\sbbs\ctrl to my system variables in windows path, rebooted and it started working again immediately on my new pc. I went back and looked at the path files on my old laptop and noticed I had not set that path variable on my new pc. Hope it helps someone. Have a great day Digital Man, et al.
