problems with certain filenames

[loominade]

I cannot convert files with emoji in filenames:

$ svgexport 📖.svg 📖.png
Error: Unable to load file (fail): path/📖.svg

The issue is with phantomjs, but it is more than just emoji charachters. Currently I don't have enough time to fully investigate it and report it to phantomjs, so please either report it to phantomjs or temporary do not use special characters in your file names.

[loominade]

I'd like to, but I don't know what to tell them. What do you think I should report to phantomjs?

Can't it operate with those filenames at all?

[shakiba]

I reported it.

It also doesn't like spaces in the path name, regardless of whether you escape them or not.

@davemackintosh It may be a svgexport issue, can I see your example?

[davemackintosh]

I'm using it in an electron app on OS X, it's reading from the "Application Support" directory but says it can't find "Application " so I tried .replace(/\s+/g, "\ ") but still no go.

@davemackintosh Are you using svgexport as a node.js module? If so, please use arrays for output value, see here. I should add it to readme.

@loominade I'm closing this issue, because it is a phantomjs issue. Hopefully in future versions of phantomjs it will be resolved.
