Bug Description
Back In Time 1.0.20 on Ubuntu Precice 12.04.1 64bit
"Restore to..." failed because the target directory ("Old Shortcuts") had a space in the name. The command line output does not have the target file/folder name in quotation marks.
I noticed in the info window that the command line rsync command does not enclose the destination directory with quotation marks. When replacing the space with an underscore, the restore worked correctly. The files are not copied/restored and the permission change fails because the file simply is not there to change! See the info window output below.
Oh, this is encountered when browsing within a snapshot, right-clicking on a file and selecting 'restore to' or 'restore folder to'. I did not test to see if the same is true for the other menu options.
Thanks for the great software and keep up the good work.
