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

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

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.
