Use of %P with a path with space characters

[most]

I have scripts that resize all jpgs in source folder, works fine unless there are spaces in the path.
I found these two posts, but nothing there helped me.

Code: Select all

Command: c:\Progra~1\TotalCmd\Addons\TEST.cmd
Parameters: %P

Code: Select all

[TEST.cmd]
rem Echo just for debuging
echo %1*.jpg 
rem c:\Progra~1\TotalCmd\Addons\magick.exe mogrify -resize 1280x1280 -quality 75 %1*.jpg

Parameters: %P results in {c:\my*.jpg}
Parameters: "%P" results in {"c:\my path"*.jpg}

So double quotes solves the space issue, but adds a another issue.

Currently, I see two ways to fix this.

1. Specify *.jpg directly after %P in the button. Then all parameters can be enclosed in quotes:

   Code: Select all

   "%P\*.jpg"

   Note sure about the backslash though.
2. Leave the button as is (or set quotes around %P), and tell CMD to strip the quotes and explicitly set new ones:

   Code: Select all

   ... "%~1*.jpg"
