Description
Thank you for making fbx-conv.exe!
On my windows 10 64bit machine I cannot run this command if the path has space in it:
cmd start C:\temp\New folder\fbx-conv.exe -f -v -o G3DJ "C:\temp\male_lp.fbx" "C:\temp\male_lp.json"
Although this works fine:
cmd start C:\temp\New_folder\fbx-conv.exe -f -v -o G3DJ "C:\temp\male_lp.fbx" "C:\temp\male_lp.json"
I tried putting quotes around fbx-conv.exe but that didn't work:
cmd start "C:\temp\New_folder\fbx-conv.exe" -f -v -o G3DJ "C:\temp\male_lp.fbx" "C:\temp\male_lp.json"
cmd start "C:\temp\New_folder\fbx-conv.exe -f -v -o G3DJ" "C:\temp\male_lp.fbx" "C:\temp\male_lp.json"
Do you know if there is a way to have it run even with spaces in path?
Thank you.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported Windows command with fbx-conv.exe in a directory containing spaces, then inspect the command-line path handling. Done means the executable can be invoked successfully when its path contains spaces, while the existing conversion arguments still work.
