Public bug reported:
If /usr/bin/see decides to make a temporary link to the file it's
processing, it should keep the extension of the original file if it's
reasonably sane (i.e. consists of alphanumeric characters and doesn't
exceed, say, 8 characters)
For example, I run "see Latest Document.png". see creates a link for the
file because the file has a space in the name. The link is called
/tmp/filePMro4U rather than /tmp/filePMro4U.png. see runs gthumb with
the link as the argument. gthumb gets confused.
I realize that programs should not need extensions to recognize the
files, but sometimes they take useful hints from the extensions,
especially for old file formats.
see users tempfile internally, and tempfile has a "--suffix" option that
could be used.
