I made some more tests.
I can open a file named 'A B' (with a space in its name) using
1 exo-open 'A B'
or
2 exo-open A\ B
I can also open it with thunar using
3 thunar 'A B'
or
4 thunar A\ B
I can not open it using and URI as in
5 exo-open file:A\ B
nor can I open it with
6 thunar file:A\ B
In case 5 above there is an error message from thunar, unable to open
the file A%20B. So the translation space->%20 seems to be done by
exo-open before calling thunar.
Nevertheless, if I use the full path, not relative paths, both commands
succeed:
7 exo-open file:/home/user/A\ B
but I can open it with thunar with the same syntax
8 thunar file:/home/user/A\ B
It confuses me that if I introduce the escaped space by hand,
9 exo-open file:/home/user/A%20B
10 thunar file:///home/user/A%20B
the call 9 to exo-open fails but the call 10 to thunar does succeed.
Could it be that exo-open is escaping the '%''s? Finally, the call
11 thunar file:A%20B
fails.
In conclusion, it seems that exo-open fails when it is handed a URI with
spaces replaced by %20.
My problem is that calibre uses exo-open and makes the replacement
before calling it. I'm made up an ugly solution: I put in my path a fake
exo-open that replaces back %20's to spaces before calling the real
exo-open.
Regards,
Luis
