Bug Description

As the title describes , in this case the links don't work.
A workaround is to add " to the xdg-open command in the quicklist.
For example :

xdg-open /home/bob/folder with spaces <-- this doesn’t work
xdg-open /home/bob/"folder with spaces" <-- it works!

I think this should be done from the program automatically.

Hmm it looks like the patch is allready merged in today's version.
Beside, even with no space in names, the drawer fails.
Then my issue is something else.
