Description Roland Stigge 2004-02-08 16:57:44 UTC 
Hi,

a Debian user reported the following bug: When specifying a file with
trailing space in the GUI dialog, an error (file not found) occurs. When
specifying it on the command line, just a new (empty) diagram is opened. He
suggests using trim().

Thanks for considering.

bye,
  Roland

Using trim() straight away would be a bad idea, in case somebody
really wants to end their filename with a space (how evil!), but using
trim() on failure is a good idea to cover the most common cases.

Mass reassign of 0.92[-pre*] bugs to 0.92.2
Comment 3 Hans Breuer 2004-05-20 22:27:52 UTC 
To me this too much like magic, either space in filenames are allowed - or not.
Setting to _questionable_ enhancement ...
Comment 4 Roland Stigge 2011-12-30 11:33:51 UTC 
Since current Desktop file chooser dialogs just give you a choice of existing files (without the possibility to enter additional spaces manually), this bug is not relevant anymore. Closing as obsolete.
