man page contains limited information about -append

[Brian Murray]

Binary package hint: imagemagick

The -append option for convert can append images top to bottom or left to right. To do the latter you need to use append with a + in front of it so +append. While I can understand the necessity of keeping the manual brief I believe that "-append append an image sequence" is far too brief. Either modifying -append to read "append an image sequence top to bottom" or doing that and adding in +append would make this argument much clearer.

Do you happen to know what Debian package version this was fixed in so we can mark the Ubuntu bug task Fix Released when we have that package version? Thanks in advance.

The fix should appear in this file: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/imagemagick/oneiric/view/head:/utilities/convert.1
