commandline rendering & file names

While I was testing MoRen I noticed that most of the tutorial files have spaces in their names. You can't render a file with the commandline if it has spaces in it on windows. Just make sure to not leave any spaces or add a "_" inbetween. :wink:

Isn't it possible to enclose the pathname in quotation marks?

You have to for windows anyway.

In BSD (e.g. Mac OS X) and Linux, depending on your shell manager, you can use the Posix escape code as follows:

Code: Select all

file\ 1.moho
which is equivalent to

Code: Select all

"file 1.moho"
in case you were planning to create a render farm for Mac OS X as well.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided to use their own conventions and create all kinds of cross-platform incompatibilities.

Thanks!

I plan on a mac version. Just don't currently have a mac. Hopefully I'll get one before long.
