                    [--ratio RATIO [RATIO ...]] [--fixed FIXED [FIXED ...]]

Thanks for reporting. This looks like a bug (or at least a very rough edge) of Python's argparse. https://stackoverflow.com/a/26986546/4028896

Please use it like this:

splitfolders --ratio .8 .2 -- img_folder

I will update the docs.
