Hi Jonathan,

I'd like to inform you about this problem.  I guess the problem is
not really hard to fix but I would like to leave you the final decision.

Kind regards

          Andreas.

Hi there,

Line 365 of findimagedupes perl script makes a call to glob that fails when the
path contains whitespace. "find -type d -print0 | findimagedupes -0 -" will
ignore files in those directories because of this.

The immediate solution might appear to be to use bsd_glob, but that only solves
the problem of folders with whitespace. Folders with other characters that are
meaningful to glob/bsd_glob will probably still have issues.

Temporary workaround (for my situation, at least) is to use find to generate
the full file list.

I'd help more but my knowledge of perl is mediocre at best. FWIW, I don't think
glob is necessary if an alternative folder content listing function can be
used.

Peace,
Brendon
