Description Mike Miller 2006-01-16 12:34:14 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Drag and drop of a file from nautilus works but needs improvement.

The main issue is that paths containing spaces are not quoted.  98% of the time
they need to be to construct a correct command line.  Gnome-terminal should wrap
the file name in quotes before inserting it.  

Also, it appends two spaces to the end of the string, but two are not really
necessary.  Maybe one space could be prepended to the start of the string.

For an example, in Windows, try dragging and dropping a file from Explorer to
the Command Prompt to see how it adds quotes.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Grab file from nautilus
2. Drop on gnome-term
3. Note new string inserted into cmd line.


Actual results:
file name.ext<space><space>

Expected results:
<space>"file name.ext"<space>

Does this happen every time?
y
