Possible bug: issue with file names with spaces

[bevan-philip]

Within my org-roam directory, I had a file named "roam/blog/CS scouting.org". However, until I removed the file, the conversion would fail with the following error.

/Users/bevan/.gem/ruby/3.1.3/gems/pandoc-ruby-2.1.7/lib/pandoc-ruby.rb:306:in `execute': **pandoc: input/roam/blog/CS: withBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) (****RuntimeError****)**

This error was an issue on both macOS and Ubuntu.

I've worked around this bug by simply creating a new note, and copying the contents (I'm sure re-naming and re-creating the database would have also worked), so probably don't invest too much energy here 😄 .

@arrivance I had the same issue! I managed to fix it by escaping the whitespace for each file name when querying the database, see my PR: #5.

Although sounds like you're all sorted now :smile:

Going to close this as it seems there's a solution, and also a fix from @CharlesEkkel (thank you).
