Operating system, version and so on

Linux freeroam 6.12.34+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.34-1+rpt1~bookworm (2025-06-26) aarch64 GNU/Linux

Description

I'm running Plasma Mobile (from startplasmamobile cmd after login) on Raspberry Pi OS Lite, on a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB). This also implies I'm running Wayland.

Steps to Reproduce

Here is a mini list of bash commands that illustrates my findings:

wget "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Van_Gogh_-_Starry_Night_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/2560px-Van_Gogh_-_Starry_Night_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg"
img="2560px-Van_Gogh_-_Starry_Night_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg"
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
identify $img
gimp $img
convert -verbose "$img" -crop 1146x1251+1414+776 out.jpg
xdg-open out.jpg
display "$img" -resize 1146x1251+1414+776

Basically I used the convert command to show that ImageMagick is indeed able to properly parse the geometry expression I fed it, although when I try to do the same thing with display it just opens the image without taking me to that portion of the image.

It's a shame this isn't working, as it would have been a fun way to focus on different parts of an image during a presentation about art. Not sure what other open-source alternatives are available as a workaround, but I would really like to use ImageMagick as I believe it really represents a 'standard' when it comes to automated/CLI image manipulation and more.

Images

see wget cmd :)

PS - I used gimp to select a rectangle with a graphical GUI, to then copy and paste the values in the geometry expression.
