Given that Gwenview does not have imagemagick as a dependency...
and given that Neon as a "distribution" is pretty lean with a fresh installation,
can it--ImagMagick-- be safely removed?
If so, surely it would make the live iso a few bytes smaller if it wasn't included
and if it was a helpful app-- to whomever--it is installable...

It is not Neon's "fault" here, but Ubuntu's , or rather Debian's , cups-filters setup requiring it as a hard dependency, since fixed in later releases. I think the fairly popular print to pdf function is one thing that breaks without imagemagick, for one example.

Ahh... that common printing stuff! I completely forgot about that...
Usually with any fresh install--of whatever--I remove CUPS, foreign fonts, libreoffice and other unwanted apps as a matter of course but with my joy of discovering Neon... well there was no libreoffice or unwanted bloat
(and I didn't even give fonts a glance)
so I've just "spring cleaned" and I'm even happier with Neon than I was yesterday
(and yesterday was pretty good anyways...)

Thanks!

EDIT: It would be nice if "printing" was something optional; say as part of the initial installation process; it's an assumption that I don't need...
