Spaces in )ED path causes incorrect path

DuckInTub commented 1 year ago

Describe the issue you are having

Spaces in pathname while trying to file>open or )ed a file will cause RIDE to not find the file.

Did you connect to an already running interpreter or start the interpreter from RIDE?

Start an interpreter

How do you reproduce the issue?

Have a file with an absolute path containing a space somewhere. Open ride and use the menu: File>Open to try to edit the file. RIDE trouble with spaces in path

How is Ride supposed to tell the difference between two files and a single file with a space in between?

You must indicate this somehow, and as usual, it's the double quote that comes to the rescue:

)ed "file://C:\Users\icebl\Documents\Path with space\file.txt"

DuckInTub commented 1 year ago

Okay. But what about the File>Open menu? It only ever selects one file to be opened yet it doesn't automatically enclose the path with double qoutes.

aplteam commented 1 year ago

Yes, that's a bug
