.desktop file not escaping spaces #7

Open tooeffayy opened 3 years ago

So this is weird because the script is correct but the spaces with the path aren't properly escaped by default when I run the installer. This is what was put in the .desktop file Exec=WINEPREFIX="$wineprefix" WINEDEBUG=-all wine start C:/Python27/python.exe C:/wrye-bash/Mopy/Wrye\Bash\Launcher.pyw

Instead of Exec=WINEPREFIX="$wineprefix" WINEDEBUG=-all wine start C:/Python27/python.exe C:/wrye-bash/Mopy/Wrye\ Bash\ Launcher.pyw

System is Arch, KDE, and zsh. I entered a regular sh environment to try running the cat command to fill the .desktop file but the spaces still got stripped.

Interstingly the file does in fact have the spaces escaped correctly but KDE doesn't read them correctly. It ends up wanting double back slashes to work so WINEDEBUG=-all wine start C:/Python27/python.exe C:/wrye-bash/Mopy/Wrye\\ Bash\\ Launcher.pyw
