On unstable: [cjwatson@arborlon ~/tmp]$ mkdir dir\ with\ spaces [cjwatson@arborlon ~/tmp]$ cd dir\ with\ spaces/ [cjwatson@arborlon ~/tmp/dir with spaces]$ cd .. [cjwatson@arborlon ~/tmp]$ rmdir dir\ with\ spaces/ [cjwatson@arborlon ~/tmp]$ Do you have a shell alias set up for cd, perhaps? > Gstreamer from experimental seems to have problem with this too.. If something can't cope with spaces in filenames then you can legitimately file a bug. It's quite easy to get this wrong in Unix. > //Snaggen, who is not on the list so keep my CC A Mail-Followup-To: header would help - I almost missed this.
