Filenames with % character

Post by szhrmp »

I need to convert some files which have a % character in it (e.g. 3Chinesen_Z%c3%bcrich.png). Nconvert tries to substitue the percentage character, is it possible to escape it?

Could you try %%?

%% wont work, what happens that nconvert replaces each % with the original file name.

the %% is only required if you put the command in a bat file (which I don't do)
