Outputting to json using the commandline with the -verbose option creates invalid json.

convert -verbose mypic.jpg json:-

Reason is that backslashes has to be escaped with (double backslash), so it breaks at the filepaths

Incorrect:

{ name: "c:\some dir\myfile.mp4" }

Correct :

{name: "c:\\some dir\\myfile.mp4"}

Oops, i was using and older version of convert, i think the output is different now, it doesent contain the filepath anymore with v7.0.7-8

invalid json output with -verbose
