When should I run MagickNET.Initialize();

[doggy8088]

I'm trying to resize an image, but I forget to initialize Magick.NET, it still works.

using var image = new MagickImage(@"G:\SNAG-0111.jpg");
image.Quality = 90;
image.Resize(1000, default(int));
await image.WriteAsync(@"G:\SNAG-0111-1000w.jpg");

I'd like to know when should I run MagickNET.Initialize(); before using Magick.NET?

You don't need to run MagickNET.Initialize(); but you can. You should do this if you have your own custom configuration. And when you do this should be before you execute any code the creates a MagickImage or MagickImageCollection. This should be done as early as possible.

I don't know when should I define my own custom configuration. Do you have an example?

You would normally only want that if you need to customize the ConfigurationFiles.

I found a docs about these ConfigurationFiles here: https://imagemagick.org/script/resources.php
