This is actually a regression from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717951
Since the update to Disco the unprofessional and childish ImageMagick icon is back. It was removed in Artful, Bionic and Cosmic for the following reasons, perfectly summed up by Jeremy Bicha (a copy and paste from Bug #171951):
Impact
======
I'm proposing to drop the ImageMagick app from the default Ubuntu 17.10.
It is visible in the Show Applications view of the Activities Overview so this could impact screenshots.
Justification
=============
imagemagick is a collection of commandline utilities for working with images, photos, etc. It is a required dependency for many things and will still be installed by default.
Bundled with imagemagick is the "display" app, which is an app with an unusual, difficult-to-use UI. It was not intentionally included in the default Ubuntu install but was only there because it was packaged together.
I am proposing splitting the display app to a separate binary package so that it is available for install for the few who do want to use the app.
I tried proposing this to Debian. See comment #60 on the attached Debian bug but the Debian maintainer doesn't seem interested in accepting my proposal any time soon. (I emailed him directly a few months ago too.) |

I tested this in the "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu on Wayland" and "GNOME" session and it it returned in all three instances.

This seemed to be actually a regression in Disco from Artful, Bionic and Cosmic, where this was fixed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717951
In Disco the rather unprofessional ImageMagick icon was back. It was hidden in Artful, Bionic and Cosmic.
As Sebastien Bacher points out below this is not necessary anymore. CUPS does no longer depend on ImageMagick. People can simply remove it when they don't rely on it anymore for other uses.
Marking invalid now. |
