Re: [Gimp-user] SVG to PNG using a script

[Tres Finocchiaro <tres finocchiaro gmail com>]

Are there any known caveats to running these command on Windows?

I'm testing the above with CMD and no matter how I run it, it pops up a
dialog asking me what resolution to import the file at, I can't get it to
run non-interactively.

   - I've tried escaping the asterisks
   - I've tried gimp-2.10.exe
   - I've tried gimp-console-2.10.exe
   - I've tried swapping single quotes and double-quotes

It works on macOS Gimp 2.10.14 but does not work on Windows using Gimp
2.10.18.

 When I try to run the first portion interactively, I receive the following
errors:

   - Opening *'C:\Users\owner\Desktop\((image'* failed: Error opening file
   C:\Users\owner\Desktop\((image: No such file or directory
   - Opening *'C:\Users\owner\Desktop\(car'* failed: Error opening file
   C:\Users\owner\Desktop\(car: No such file or directory
   - Opening *'C:\Users\owner\Desktop\(file-svg-load'* failed: Error
   opening file C:\Users\owner\Desktop\(file-svg-load: No such file or
   directory

I've tried using PowerShell and receive very similar results.  What am I
doing wrong?
