Bug Description
[SRU - Test Case]
1. Click the browse button for Command.
2. Select an executable with a space in the path.
[SRU - Expected Results]
[[MenuLibre 2.0.3]]
Command is populated exactly as read, without the escaped space and the launcher does not work.
[[MenuLibre 2.0.4]]
Command is populated such that the space is escaped and the launcher works correctly.
[Original Report]
I've found no way at all to point to a script within a folder which has spaces in the name. Menulibre doesn't handle the escaping automatically by default.
The documentation at https:/
My workaround has been to create a softlink to the script within /usr/local/bin which is in my $PATH. However, if Menulibre would handle whitespace escaping properly within paths, in a way which satisfies gnome-shell that would be fantastic, and would have saved me a very long time.
