it was interesting to find out what is it. seems to be the problem is that on windows and on unix-like systems it uses different type of slashes. in order to make it work you need to use always '/' instead of '\'.

Hi @szykov, thx for your post. I'm having exactly the same issue on Windows, but unlike you I could not convert my file.

I've tried from un/installing and running everything from scratch to using many combinations of (/) back and fowards, and the result is the same.

Any other workaround?
