Description Domagoj Šarić 2012-12-29 18:22:39 UTC 
FILTER_PATTERNS = <file mask>=<full filter path with spaces>

I've tried all possible combinations of quotes I could think of, both escaped and not, and it still does not work: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

I've also tried 1.8.3 but the bug is still there (in fact 1.8.3 seems completely broken for me, I get only one class documented instead of ~60)...
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2012-12-29 18:31:35 UTC 
Please explain how I can reproduce the problem.

Also the problem you observed in release 1.8.3, I would like to reproduce.
Comment 2 Domagoj Šarić 2012-12-29 18:38:45 UTC 
Well, as I outlined above, try to add a filter (specified with a full path that contains spaces) for a certain file mask...
Comment 3 Dimitri van Heesch 2012-12-29 19:07:03 UTC 
Works fine here, so I really need more info.
Comment 4 Domagoj Šarić 2012-12-29 19:31:40 UTC 
Can you please describe how it works for you, i.e. what is the syntax for specifying the filter when the path contains spaces in the configuration file (and when using the GUI frontend)?

e.g. for FILTER_PATTERNS = "*foo*.hpp=D:\Users\dummy\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\filter.exe"

(when I convert the path to the 8.3 'format' it works...)


ps. could it have anything in common with this old thing http://osdir.com/ml/text.doxygen.general/2005-05/msg00118.html?
Comment 5 Domagoj Šarić 2012-12-29 20:26:19 UTC 
If this is in any way relevant, I'm using Win7 x64 fully updated...

As far as I can see this is a duplicate of bug_504305
