GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309042
Dragging a file whose path contains spaces to Terminal doesn't escape the spaces
Last modified: 2005-06-26 15:06:46 UTC
Please describe the problem: Dragging a file from a Nautilus window to a Terminal window inserts the full file path at the Terminal prompt. In Terminal, spaces in a filename or path must be escaped with backslashes. Tab completion does this, for example. However, if the file dragged has spaces in its name or folder path, these do not get escaped. Steps to reproduce: 1. create a file with spaces in the title 2. drag it to Terminal Actual results: The file path is inserted with spaces, eg /home/joachim/my file.txt Expected results: The file path should be inserted with spaces escaped eg /home/joachim/my\ file.txt Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
