Forward slashes instead of backslashes #24

The Windows x64 version doesn't seem to work even if you have Chrome is the same directory.

The commands it's giving don't seem to be valid on Windows filesystems and it exits with a failure.

Having this same issue. Was this ever resolved?

Do the files get created? eg: D:\Downloads\Zinigo/issue/556768_99.pdf?

The error message to me looks like its happening in the next section. I am looking at a nicer library to form the paths, to resolve this issue.

No, nothing is getting created for me. I'm also getting the error of cmd.Run() failed with exec. C: "file does not exist" .And I'm sure my chrome path is correct

Had this exact same issue - it's resolved by turning every back slash in your chrome path into a forward slash. Download Zinigo 64, place it into a directory, then add a config JSON file to the same directory that contains the following:

{ "username":"ZINIO USERNAME HERE", "password":"ZINIO PASSWORD HERE", "chromepath":"C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" }

When you right click on the chrome app and select 'copy as path', you'll get something that looks a little like this: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" All you have to do is turn all those back slashes into forward slashes, so it looks like this instead: "C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
