photils crashes darktable

[TempleClause]

In the docs https://darktable-org.github.io/luadocs/lua.scripts.manual/scripts/contrib/photils/ it says that photils-cli is not available for windows but seems that is to be outdated information and its now available.

I tested the https://github.com/scheckmedia/photils-cli on it's own and it seems to be working fine on windows.

But when using it in darktable, after clicking "get tags" it crashes.

I'm happy to help to fix it if someone could point me in the right direction, i'm a software developer myself.

Thanks!

Is this a duplicate of #440?

What version of windows and what version of darktable are you running?

I just tested on my windows "test"system and managed to recreate the crash

Do you know Lua? If not, do you want to learn :-D

The problem is most likely a space in your username or the image path.
