Issue with outfile format

[SmithJustinL]

I am trying to use the command line to dezoomify an image with the outfile format of png. I keep getting the same error:

C:\Users\frate>dezoomify-rs [-l] [https://www.idaillinois.org/iiif/2/npl:10961/info.json] [dezoomified.png]
error: unexpected argument '[dezoomified.png]' found

Can anyone please tell me what exactly I am doing wrong here? Thanks.

The issue lies in how you are providing the arguments to the dezoomify-rs command. The square brackets ([ ]) in the error message suggest that the arguments are optional and should not be included in your command. Here's how to fix it:

Correct Command Syntax

Try this:

dezoomify-rs -l https://www.idaillinois.org/iiif/2/npl:10961/info.json dezoomified.png

Explanation

1. Remove brackets ([ ]): Brackets are typically used in documentation to indicate optional arguments. You shouldn't include them in the actual command.
2. Argument order: The URL comes immediately after the options (-l in this case), followed by the output filename (dezoomified.png).
3. Output format: By specifying the output filename as dezoomified.png, the tool will save the image in PNG format.

Let me know if this works or if you're encountering further issues!
