I did some tests and it's a bug. I investigated and the problem is here if (Test-Path -Path $f -PathType Leaf )
I don't know why Test-Path don't recognize files with square brackets. I did tests with curly brackets and special characthers and all is ok. The problem show up only with square brackets. I'll investigate more and I'll try to make a fix,
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi, in order to fix it, you should replace -Path with -LiteralPath and add quotation marks so square brackets are not interpreted as escape characters.

I fix the bug and uploaded a new version 0.3.1 with -LiteralPath. Now it works with square brackets too.
Thanks for your help.
