Description Takashi Nakamoto 2005-09-27 22:28:23 UTC

The full release package (version 0.17) has "recreation/music/CD Player"
directory containing one clip art. But some operation systems like Linux cannot
handle such directory names including a space character correctly.

Comment 1 Michael Moore 2005-10-30 20:09:29 UTC

A space is a valid char. Both Gnome and KDE handle it propperly. On the terminal
 you must escape it either by quoting the path: "/foo/bar/my space path/" or by
escaping the space: /foo/bar/my\ space\ path.

If no one has a counter claim to this, this bug should probably be closed.

There's no good reason to keep the space character.  It serves no purpose, and
we're trying to be as cross-platform-friendly as possible here.  Additionally,
in this case, there's no reason to keep that _directory_ at all; it has only one
image in it, which ought to be moved to the parent directory.

Comment 3 ryanlerch 2006-10-12 21:34:50 UTC

the directory layout will be changed when the releases are developed for 
ccHost. Hence this issue will not be an issue anymore. im resolving this to 
"LATER"

Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2008-02-24 18:22:17 UTC

Mass reopen.  The "LATER" resolution is lame, I'm deleting it.  Consider LATER to have arrived.

Comment 5 Tollef Fog Heen 2010-08-18 03:24:32 UTC

Closing all openclipart bugs as openclipart is now on launchpad, as per request from  Jon Philips.
