Hi,

This is a win32 specific problem.
I tried this with the (almost) latest TeXLive binaries :

lualatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 --shell-escape  -recorder
-output-directory="C://Temp/tex2pdf.-123456"
 "C:\\Temp\tex2pdf.-123456\Think-FP-Report-2020.tex"

Notice the // and \\
This does not work.
However if I do :

lualatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 --shell-escape  -recorder
-output-directory="C:/Temp/tex2pdf.-123456"
 "C:\Temp\tex2pdf.-123456\Think-FP-Report-2020.tex"

Then it is working ok.
I vaguely remember an old discussion about cleaning up multiple path
separators after the drive and its colon, but I am not sure what it happens
after.

Any idea about this issue ?

In case you wonder : the command is issued when trying to convert stuff to
pdf by pandoc.

Regards,

Fabrice
