Usage on Windows

[andrekosak]

Hello, i have one more question regarding Windows. I have Node 6 here, but i cannot manage how to use the cli properly. The point is, that it creates the new image in the same folder, and NOT uses the folder path i passed as "-o" parameter. See my output:

Admin@DESKTOP-RLI0V1T MINGW64 /d/Site/maerchen (master)
$ sharp -i ./static/images/* -o ./out resize 1500 0
D:%5CSite%5Cmaerchen%5Cout
D:%5CSite%5Cmaerchen%5Cout

So it's creating new files with wrong names in folder where i stand.
I have tried using the "Git Bash" and "Cmder". Result is the same.

Would someone have a hint for me?

Hi @andrekosak, can you try running the command for a single input file only (without using *). I'm wondering whether Windows might interpret the asterisk differently, messing up the CLI.

i have tested it too, but no luck. then i gave up. now i am using docker to resize images on Windows: mount the folder and than to the stuff inside of container.

I'm also having this problem.

@andrekosak @Peilin-D Thank you for reporting, and apologies for the late fix.

I'm having the same issue (using v1.8.0) with this command. Has this been fixed?

sharp -i ./*.tif -o ./output -f jpg : all the input files seem to be processed but there's only one output file without extension, named output (instead of creating a directory), each new file squashing the previous one.

@nltesown You need to specify the output pattern - see #13 (comment)

Which gives:

sharp -i ./*.tif -o ./output/{name}.jpg -f jpg

It works! Thanks a lot!
