Attachments:	patch to xdg-open accept filenames with spaces when using open_generic()

Description Vieira 2010-05-04 05:19:28 UTC

Created attachment 35408 [details] [review]
patch to xdg-open accept filenames with spaces when using open_generic()

In configuration without a DE (i.e., running open_generic()), if you try to run xdg-open with a filename which contains spaces an error will occur.

I wrote this small patch that fixes the issue.

Steps to reproduce:
$ xdg-open 1\ 2.jpg
feh WARNING: 1 does not exist - skipping
feh WARNING: 2.jpg does not exist - skipping
feh - No loadable images specified.
Use feh --help for detailed usage information.

Version tested: 
xdg-utils-1.0.2 (latest on website).
