What colortool version are you running?

Where exactly are the WildCherry.itermcolors and colortool.exe files?

I installed the colortool via scoop.

Okay, that's helpful.

Looks like this isn't the only report of this either, so something's probably messed up.

So this is a bug? There is no solution for now?

I was playing with my console and powershell colours last night, and had to use the older release of the tool as the current release would not work.

I'm not sure, but it seems like it is a bug. Someone will need to debug it further.

Thank @mdtauk and @zadjii-msft .
I rollback colortool to 1810.02002 version. This bug disappeared. But the schemes can not work well. Just take an example:

Hope for next stable version.

Looks like the program is now accepting scheme filename (with file extension) instead of scheme name. 😂

Try colortool campbell.ini.

Thank you @lefb766 it has worked for me by specifying the file extension name.

Someone has to fix the documentation because the instructions don't ask the user to use the extension name, in fact as far as I could understand I should NOT use extension name and let the tool lookup for files in the order .ini > .json > .itemcolors
