Public bug reported:

Double clicking a hdf5 file sometimes results in hdfview opening but not
displaying the file. This happens when there is a space somewhere in the
filepath. It can be fixed by changing one line in the launcher
/usr/bin/hdfview from:

run_java ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView -root /usr/share/doc/libjhdf-doc/ $*

to:

run_java ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView -root /usr/share/doc/libjhdf-doc/ "$*"
