D’oh, and I’ve started downloading your file just minutes ago :-) Anyway … that sounds as if I should rework the logic a bit. Indeed, in former times only “-t” was accepted, and even multiple of them were allowed (so multiple conversions could be made in one go). When I added the logic to parse out the desired formats from the file names (allowing e.g. “miraconvert fasta a.caf b.fastq”), I treat the format of the target file as additional “-t” option, allowing, e.g., “miraconvert -t fasta a.caf b.fastq” which will convert to fasta and fastq at the same time. However, SAMNOBB being rather an option of SAM and both having the same file ending, this seems to somehow confuse the existing logic. I need to fix that. Thanks for finding out.
