[RESOLVED] percentage border

[samIam]

As far as I understand, the command

mogrify -bordercolor Red -border 60%x60% *.jpg

should create a border of 60% (the number is so high because it really doesn't use 60%) around an image - images of different size should have a border that should appear to be the same width. However, this is not the case - it appears as if the % signs are ignored and a 60pixel border is created.

Thanks, Windows. You must escape the percent sign with another percent sign. Try -border 60%%x60%%

See the section "Using the DOS Shell and Batch FIles at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/

thanks - i found the solution in there - I had to double up on the % sign.
Do you recommend that I delete the post, since it really is NOT a bug?

I have edited your post title to mark it as RESOLVED. You can do that in the future by simply editing the title of your original post.
