v0.4.7 breaks scraping in Windows #60

Hi Richard,

I just updated to v0.4.7 but this breaks scraping of files because of a misspecification in scraper paths. It seems to get confounded with the output path (see attached). After downgrading to v0.4.6 it works again. capture

Ah, sorry about this. I don't have a windows machine to test on, but will see if I can figure it out.

Hm I just tried this on Ubuntu and I get the same error. I have the most up-to-date version of node and updated quickscrape to be sure, but somehow the folder name for the output is seen as input for the journal-scraper location (pwd is correct parent folder, /media/chjh/contentmine in the case below).

Does quickscrape@0.4.7 properly work for you? If so, I wonder what goes wrong on my end.
