Pattern matching doesn't work at all on Windows

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Using any command requiring a pattern doesn't function on Windows.

fclones executes correctly, but finds 0 applicable duplicates with the following command in PowerShell:

fclones group . | fclones move --path '.\' --dry-run 'Duplicates' > moves.txt

(It also doesn't work with any combination of './', .\, ./, ./*, or .\* as an argument to --path.)

Fclones has no control over how the shell preprocesses the arguments. Quoting rules differ between shells so you have to adapt your args so that fclones receives proper argument values.

Does it work in cmd?
