[Zope] Photo problems

[Meilicke, Scott]

OK, thanks, I'll poke around.  On my windows box, zope runs under an
elevated account, although I'm not sure how elevated.  Certainly it has
'logon as a service' permission.

For what it's worth, I have used Photo successfully in the past, I just need
to figure out what I did.  It's either the upgrade from 2.4.1 to 2.4.3 or
the new kernel.  Or the last 10 apt-get upgrades I did.  Or...

Ron, thanks for the wonderful product.

Scott

Good question.  I don't know.  It looks like the answer is: "In the current
directory", but I don't know where that would be when running Zope.  I
looked for a few seconds to see if convert would use a TEMP environment
variable or something, but didn't find anything.

You could try running some tests with convert outside of Zope.  Not sure
what else to try other than digging through IM docs and source.

Tim Wilson reported an IOError problem, but running on Windows, so there was
no console info.  As far as I know, his problem hasn't been resolved yet.  I
wonder if the problem is the same.  Anyone know if Zope runs as a
non-privileged user under Windows?
