CLI unable to parse largest-overlap flag #515

Hey @mbloch,

first of all, thanks for this amazing piece of software that is Mapshaper ❤️

Unfortunately, I'm having difficulties using the join commands largest-overlap flag. When running the following command in the CLI

mapshaper-xl input.json -join other-input.json fields=code prefix=c2020_ largest-overlap

I'm receiving the following error output:

Allocating 8 GB of heap memory
[join] Error: File not found (largest-overlap)
Run mapshaper -h to view help

However, when I import both files in the browser GUI (luckily possible in Firefox), and subsequently run the following line in the console:

join other_input fields=code prefix=c2020_ largest-overlap

The join operation works just as expected. Any advice what I'm doing wrong using the CLI?

Thanks, and all the best Christoph

Hi! First make sure that your CLI is up-to-date by running mapshaper -v. The current version is 0.5.72 and largest-overlap was added in 0.5.59.

Awesome! That worked straight away 🙈 I checked the version before, and as it said 0.5.8 (? coming from the future) I didn't think of it being an issue... Thanks again!
