Does :output-dir accept absolute or relative paths? I'm asking because you speak of "subdirectory", but both should be accepted IMHO. > The patch treats any :file args containing a period as before, so > backwards compatibility with old files should in most cases be > maintained. Maybe there are cases where the :file value does not take an extension but the user still want to write the output to this file? How would your patch handle this? > If this patch looks good, I can provide tests and documentation. Looks useful to me, but ":file png" looks wrong, with too much implicit. We should find something less confusing. Thanks, -- Bastien
