<pre>This Windows-only enhancement needs LibreOffice to implement own wildcard
matching when pre-processing the passed command line on Windows. Unlike *nix
environment, On Windows there's no shell pre-processing that the resulting
command line that LibreOffice gets is already expanded.
For now, tricks like
<span class="quote">> for %%f in ("input folder\*.sxd") do "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe" --convert-to png --outdir "output folder" "%%f"</span >
are needed (the example above is for batch files; if using in console, %%
should be replaced into %; see e.g. [1]).
Code pointer: the command line handling happens in
desktop/source/app/cmdlineargs.cxx. It must be Windows-only, since on other
platforms, the file path is an arbitrary byte sequence, which itself may
include bytes like '*' or '?' (different flavors of FS may apply own
restrictions).
