Description Joachim Noreiko 2005-06-26 08:22:57 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
