Problem with spaces in output file path in command line

[wkone]

Hello,


I try to make a command line to get a screen picture and to create a jpg out of it. The forum topics helped me a lot and I have this command:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -capture=desktop,c:\temp\monrep\file.jpg

With no spaces in the output file path, everything is ok: a file named file.jpg in created in "c:\temp\monrep\"

Now if the output directory contains a space character, this is what appends:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -capture=desktop,c:\temp\mon rep\file.jpg

The created file is: "c:\temp\mon.jpg"

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -capture=desktop,"c:\temp\mon rep\file.jpg"

The created file is: "c:\temp\mo.jpg"

Very likely there is something strange in the interpretation of the output path...
Version of XnView: 1.97.2

Did I do something wrong or is there really something strange in the way the output path has been interpreted?

Any help (or fix ) would be greatly appreciated,


Best regards

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -capture=desktop,"c:\temp\mon rep\file.jpg"

The created file is: "c:\temp\mo.jpg"

This one must work!

Yes, it should... But I tried once again to be sure and it does not. I really get a file called "mo.jpg"

It seems so...

By the way, as my final goal was to grab the content of the clipboard when I encounter this issue, maybe you have a clue for this:

Thanks a lot

Hi Pierre,

I would like to know if this bug has been fixed.
How can I see a complete list of the changes for all the latest versions of XnView?

Thx a lot,

No not yet, sorry

You can use "-capture=desktop,c:\temp\mon rep\file.jpg"
