I am puzzled what is going on with the “kaleido” command. I tried this in the CMD window on Windows 11:

The folder name either without quotes or with `"` works fine. But as constructed in PlotlyJS kaleido.jl file with apostrophes (`'`), it fails! It works in the Terminal with the PowerShell, but NOT in CMD. Just changing the directory is a problem:

Is this something new in Win 11? I thought it was supposed to work!?

Could this explains the difficulties with Kaleido?

The backticks are the reason the path is constructed this way:
