|---|---|
<FILE(S)>... |
One or more file(s) to process. Wildcards and multiple files (e.g. 2019*.pdf 2020*.pdf) are supported. Use ** glob to recurse (i.e. **/*.pdf).Note: Case sensitive. |
<TARGET> |
The target directory into which files are to be gathered. |
By default when using zsh on the Mac, the program exits with an error if one of the <FILE> arguments isn't found (ie. *.jpg *.jpeg *.png - *.jpeg not found). This is due to how this is handled in the shell.
You can work around this by issuing the following command: setopt +o NO_MATCH
