Bug Description
I'm using very simple scripts, but when the file names have spaces in then, scripts won't function on the files.
Using two files: "myfile one.txt" "myfile two.txt"
What gets passed to the scripts is: myfile one.txt myfile two.txt
No way to determine what the files are, or to act on them.
Putting quotes around each file name would fix it I believe.
Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop AMD64 with all the updates installed as of today.
