I installed ImageMagick 6.3.7 and configured it with the image-dired customization window along with the thumbs customization window but still cannot display thumbnails. I always get the error message "could not create thumb for ....". There may be something else missing in the image-dired configuration besides what you mention here. I have put the full path name of ImageDirect-6.3.7-Q8 for the image-dired thumb creation programs.
