Spaces in Path or file name not supported when sending image or document

[ujayadev]

Hi,

Thanks from closing issue no. 42. The program is working correctly now. However, I now find that when sending image or document spaces either in path of file name is not supported. I am working in Windows environment.

Consider the following path for an image: H:\Billing\Images\Do not delete\Albroz\Adlid\Adlid 13.jpg

Mudslide is not able to send this as there are spaces in the directory name and the file name.

How to overcome this ?

Warm regards,

Jayadev

Hi @ujayadev 👋

Your issue sounds similar to this issue. Can you check if quoting the filename helps? Spaces in filenames can be challenging 😉 and it depends per shell on how to handle them properly.

Good luck, Rob

Thanks so much Rob.

Personally, I think, if we make a note of this in readme.md it will help solve many such queries in future. Suggested Modification to readme.md: Note: in case there is space in path or in file name, please enclose the entire path and file name in quotes (")

Secondly, now I have put the program to use, I have been requested by users to allow multiple attachments in the same message. Is this possible? What would be the syntax ?

Once again thanks for the excellent utility.

Warm regards,

Jayadev

Hi @ujayadev

Great suggestion, I've include a note in the Readme, twice 😉

I've checked the WA library I'm using but unfortunately I couldn't find support for sending multiple attachments to a single message.

Hi Rob,

Thanks so much. I saw your note in GitHub.

If it is not inconvenient, please rephrase as under: in case there is space in path or in file name,

(file name part is missing and can create confusion)

I've checked the WA library https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys I'm using but unfortunately I couldn't find support for sending >>multiple attachments to a single message.

Ok, I will loop and send separate a message for each attachment for the time being, but sending a message with multiple attachments I think is a desirable feature. Maybe you can point out to the developers.

Warm regards,

Jayadev

Done 🙂

I'm using whatever the library provides but you can always open an issue in the library and let me know if I missed something or when it's implemented.

Be aware that Mudslide can stop working without notice since it depends on libraries that could be removed any time from GitHub/NPM, so do not use it for important/commercial things.

All the best, Rob
