--extract-media not generating directory and extracting graphic files from .docx

Hi,

I just downloaded the latest pandoc and tried to convert a .docx file to an 
asciidoc file and extract the graphics as well:

pandoc -f docx -t asciidoc -o test.asc --extract-media=~/Desktop --verbose 
test.docx

Verbose shows that the graphics are extracting, but neither the media 
directory or the graphics are written.

I've used this command before on other computers and it always worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Russ

I suspect that maybe the ~ in your path is the problem.
Try this form

--extract-media ~/Desktop

rather than

--extract-media=~/Desktop

In the former version, your shell will expand the ~.
In the latter version, pandoc gets passed the raw string
and the ~ isn't expanded.
