This was working and it is working on the windows development server. the thumbnail upload seems to now be broken, seem to have broken ImageMagick somehow. config ### External executable locations ###ooo.exe=/opt/alfresco-3.3.3/openoffice/program/soffice.binimg.root=/opt/alfresco-3.3.3/commonimg.

I've not seen the issue before, but a quick Google search brings up a couple of options:

I opened a case on this but got little result.
I did come up with a fix, not positive this is a perfect fix.

I found that doing the following command would fail.
/opt/alfresco-3.3-3/common/bin/convert test.jpg test.gif

prior release had me install imageMagic into /usr/bin so I tried
/usr/bin/convert test.jpg test.gif

this worked.
SO I modified script /opt/alfresco-3.3-3/common/bin/convert
exec /opt/alfresco-3.3.3/common/bin/.convert.bin "$@"
became
exec /usr/bin/convert "$@"

it now works.
but I am uncomfortable with this fix as I don't know why it began to fail.
