Hi, not sure what happened but I no longer get any output in my command prompt when running commands.
just a blank line.

Not even filebot.exe -help shows anything

If I send it to a file I can get the information, filebot.exe -help > help.txt

running windows 10 and filebot x64 4.7.2

If you're using the portable package, then FileBot.exe is the GUI executable, and on Windows those won't have a console.

If you're using the MSI installer then it should work, make sure that calling "filebot.exe" does call the right one (i.e. use the absolute path, no other filebot.exe in the %PATH%).

If IO redirection works, then the console should be getting output though.

thanks, removed the exe-files and jar then re-rerun the setup again.
works now. Probably updated the files with the portable version before, didn't know it didn't had no console.

It has, but the portable uses a *.cmd launcher for the CMD tool.

FileBot.exe => Portable GUI
filebot.exe => Installed CLI
