I see, sorry about that. Double-checked, and yes, quoting the path in the
command line causes the error mentioned before. Which once again is:

Possible Command Line Error:  File name or path parameter expected for
switch 'o', found 'c:\image'.
Command Line Error: Problem with command line or INI file.

when +o"c:\image files\test.png" is used.

Thanks for clarifying what might be a problem (ignored "") versus the way it
is by design. Seeing as how I could find nothing documented in the Scene or
Windows Help about any of this it could cause some confusion.
