Indeed. that Requires can be dropped if that's the only
reason it was needed.

I get that. I was using convert directly until very
recently, when it started to complain and direct me to the
magick command. And I still get (mildly) annoyed that the
command arguments now require different ordering. In the
old versions, this worked:
convert -resize 1200x1200 folder{-3000x3000,}.jpg
It works, but now prints:
WARNING: The convert command is deprecated in IMv7, use
"magick" instead of "convert" or "magick convert"
So I figure I'll just replace convert with magick, which
fails:
$ magick -resize 1200x1200 folder{-3000x3000,}.jpg
magick: no images found for operation `-resize' at CLI
arg 1 @ error/operation.c/CLIOption/5481.
I have to write it as:
$ magick folder-3000x3000.jpg -resize 1200x1200 folder.jpg
My old habits have to die, but does it have to be so
painfully. :)

It can often be tough to gauge how many folks are using a
package, I know. Even when no one files bugs or comments on
updates, others are surely using it. Good luck with it!

Glad it helped!
