obsidian-export_Windows-x64_64.exe: missing required free argument

[pope]

I get this error when I use v22.1.0 of the windows binary.

Usage:

C:\Users\pope\Downloads\obsidian-export_Windows-x64_64.exe 'C:\Users\pope\Code\Fighting Games\' C:\Users\pope\Code\out

I can run the program with the help flags and that does work.

I have the same issue, and I am pretty sure it's because of the spaces in the path. Obsidian-export handles it fine on my Mac, but not in Windows.

Looking for solution. Using the grave accent ` as an escape character in front of each space does not seem to work as intended.

I got it working by executing obsidian-export in the parent dir of where my .md files are, and having a target path with NO spaces in it. But that's no way to live...

Same issue on Windows 11 ! I confirm spaces in the path are the problem.
