Maybe. But if it worked so far I'd argue it was just by luck. $ localc This\ is\ a\ test.ods works as expected. $ localc This<tab> completes it to above and it works. As does opening the document e.g. via nautilus. > I also tried adding quotes to the .desktop file (to no avail) $ localc "This is a test.ods" and $ localc 'This is a test.ods' both work as expected., though on the console. If you call it right it works, so I'd argue it's just minor - if it is a bug at all. Regards, Rene
