Bug and improvements for the instructions #34

Closed FridoDeluxe closed 3 years ago

FridoDeluxe commented 6 years ago

For configuring mcf2pdf I followed the instructions given in README.md. I entered the path of the software (MCF_INSTALL_DIR) with quotes:

SET MCF_INSTALL_DIR="C:\Program Files\Pixum\Pixum Fotowelt"

But this results in an error message:

"Files\Pixum\Pixum" kann syntaktisch an dieser Stelle nicht verarbeitet werden.

When setting the path without quotes the conversion worked without problems or error messages:

SET MCF_INSTALL_DIR=C:\Program Files\Pixum\Pixum Fotowelt

Apparently spaces in the path are not problematic. The same applies for MCF_TEMP_DIR. I was testing on Windows 7 64bit with Java 1.8.0_131 64bit.

Another small improvement for the README.md part Converting files: In Windows there is easier way to open the command window in the folder of mcf2pdf program: Open this folder in explorer, hold Shift then Right-click and choose "open command window here".
