Can't rename files which has spaces in their names

[Ivan Leon]

Hello, nautilus-renamer maintainers!

I'd like to report a bug that I've detected during multiple files renaming using your tool.

It seems that files that contains spaces in the composition of their names, cannot be renamed..

- nautilus-renamer renamer is putting 0 in place of the SPACE and afterwards
- some piece of the code cannot rename the original file, because it has been assumed that the ORGINAL filename has 0 (what is not true) and when app._rename(file) tries to do its job, it cannot, because there's no such file on the filesystem..

I know a little bit of Python, but the composition of your app is far too complex for me.. Just explaining why I dind't sent any code fix to you.

The print screens which I'm sending will help to illustrate the scenario.

Thank you so much for developing this tool and I hope you can fix it (sure you can) :)!

Kind Regards,
Ivan Leon - @ivanleoncz

Hey Ivan,

This is a known issue, but the bug is on nautilus side. Please see -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus-renamer/+bug/1140872. There is also a
work around mentioned there.

Please follow up with nautilus. I'm also no longer maintaining this,
except for minor fixes. Thanks!

Yours,
Thura Hlaing
