Installed software isn't shwing up in Applications Menu!!!

[loughmillermedia]

I just got a Nokia N800 and upgraded to OS 2008. I then went to Maemo.org to download some application catalogues. Every program I tried to install installed through the application manager with success. In the application manager "show installed application list all of the aplications I had installed were in the list as installed, but I could only find icons to launch about 1/3 of the aps in my aplication launcher. What's going on?

Please help me

what are you installing & where are you looking for them once installed?

I am trying to install a program called Image Magick. I am just looking for the program from the application button on the bar on the left side of the GUI.

well, imagemagick is command line only so you don't need a menu really..

Probably the packager didn't add a menu entry.
Or not properly done, in this case rebooting can fix it.

How do I run the program?

Imagemagick is a set of programs to manipulate various image formats (JPEG, TIFF, PhotoCD, PBM, XPM, etc...). All manipulations can be achieved through shell commands as well as through an X11 graphical interface (display).

Possible effects: colormap manipulation, channel operations, thumbnail creation, image annotation, limited drawing, image distortion, etc...

Here's an simple example:

convert original.jpg -geometry "50%x50%" -interlace Line -quality 90 resized.jpg

This will rescale to 1/2, change quality to 90% and put a Line interlacing (useful for web)
