I forgot to mention: the upload is done via add-content-dialog.jsp, because it must be transparent to the user.

Hello,

You can trigger such transformations with rules. Alfresco's built-in image transformation use ImageMagick through the ImageMagickContentTransformer. You may reuse it to perform your transformations or write a new transformer with custom options (size) by inheriting the abstract class AbstractImageMagickContentTransformer.

PS : is your post really related to WCM ?

I tough it would be a WCM related because I'm using the AVM repository.

I'm trying to use the ImageMagickContentTransformer. I declared it inside the AddAVMContentDialog#saveContent, and did all the imports.
Running the init() method from the transform, returns a error: "System Runtime executer not set",but, at startup, there isn't any complaint about the transfomer( the common ImageMagick error) so, theoretically, the transform is well-defined and running.

I'm completely stuck at this error. Any Ideas?
