Imgconverter fails to find ImageMagick on Windows

[Daltz333]

ImageMagick fails on Windows due to backslash acting as a Python delimiter.

Issue

ImageMagick is installed on my Windows 10 (Build 2004) machine, but it fails with Invalid Drive Specification. Opening a powershell and running convert mysvg.svg mysvg.png works as intended, so this is a Sphinx specific issue.

Workaround

Specify ImageMagick path using
image_converter = "D:\\System Programs\\ImageMagick-7.0.10-Q16\\convert.exe"

I've moved ImageMagick to a non-spaced path on my internal drive and the same issue arises.

[Daltz333]

The actual issue was that a program with the name convert already exists in Windows path. Our solution was to do

# SVG support
image_converter = "magick"
image_converter_args = "convert"

Thank you for reporting. Good idea to use magick command instead.

Note: It seems Debian/Ubuntu does not provide the command...

[Daltz333]

That is correct. Debian/Ubuntu default release is still on ImageMagick6, this is introduced in ImageMagick7.

We've worked around this by using

if os.name == 'nt':

Thank you for comment. I just posted a PR #7483 that switches command by platform. Could you check this please? It is very helpful to me because I don't have windows PC.
