Hello,
In ImageReady I created a droplet to add a watermark to a bunch of jpg
images. I
now want to run the droplet from a cygwin shell so I can create a
script to add the
watermark to hundreds of jpegs. The watermark.exe is in my cygwin bin
directory which
in windows equates to c:/Documents and Settings/me/bin. The image I am
testing
is in a directory called joetest named foo.jpg. So when I try to run
the watermark.exe like
this

$cd c:/Documents and Settings/me
$bin/watermark.exe joetest/foo.jpg

I get an ImageReady error "Could not play back the batch. The file was
not found. (c:\Documents and Settings\me\joetest\foo.jpg."

The file does exist in the folder it thinks it should be in.
If from Windows Explorer I drag foo.jpg unto watermark.exe it works
fine. Does anyone
have any ideas how to resolve this or what might be causing this error
whenI try to
run the droplet from a cygwin shell? Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
