Hello all,

Our lead develloper solved the issue.

We had to remove the single (or double) quotes around the variables in the following snippet of code in the .xml file.


<entry key="Linux">
  <value>/usr/local/bin/tif2txt.sh ${source} ${target}</value>
</entry>‍‍‍‍

Turns out that alfresco already supplies the quotes when exploding the variables.

So this example: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations seems to be faulty (unless tidy handles this well)
This example: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Tiger_OCR_integration I'm not sure of, since I don't know how Windows handles this.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problems.

Hello kayachi,

Thanks for posting your resolution.
Unfortunately, we have found that different flavours on Linux require different quoting mechanisms, or indeed no quotes as you have found.

Also that Windows does require quotes.

There is a note in the Linux release notes about the problem for our config of ImageMagick but you probably would not have linked that to your issue.
