Spaces in project names break AppImages #6

Open hollunder opened 4 years ago

$ ./Blind\ Wumpus\ World.AppImage 
find: ‘/tmp/.mount_Blind’: No such file or directory
find: ‘t0aEOf/usr/bin’: No such file or directory
/tmp/.mount_Blind t0aEOf/usr/bin//wrapper-love: line 5: /tmp/.mount_Blind: No such file or directory

If I replace the spaces with underscores the AppImage works as expected.

Amazingly this is solved simply by renaming the AppImage itself. Nothing inside the AppImage is broken. It turns out this is a known issue: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/678 So as a "temporary" (issue was last updated in 2018 :disappointed:) workaround I will just strip spaces and print a message. Stripping instead of underscores is fine, I think, because title case for game names is pretty common. I will keep this issue open, because I do not consider it fixed until the issue in AppImageKit has been resolved.
