Bug Description

Tried everything, did a full reset, reinstalled the deb package (running Gutsy), nothing helped. I couldn't understand what was going on at first but I then ran avant-window-navigator through a terminal and this output came up when I tried to drag a launcher to AWN:

AwnTask: drag_data_received_handl
Receiving string: file:///home/user/Launchers/Mozilla%20Firefox.desktop
Desktop file: /home/user/Launchers/Mozilla%20Firefox.desktop
Error : Error reading file 'file:///home/user/Launchers/Mozilla%2520Firefox.desktop': File not found

As described, this is a minor bug but should nonetheless be fixed. :-)

This does still not work in version 0.2.6

I get the following error:
AwnTask: drag_data_received_handl
 Receiving string: file:///home/anders/Desktop/Windows%20XP.desktop
Desktop file: /home/anders/Desktop/Windows%20XP.desktop
FAILED : file:///home/anders/Desktop/Windows%20XP.desktop

if I remove the space adding the launcher works

Please try 0.3.2, which is the latest release.

It still doen't work in 0.3.2. I get the same error message as in 0.2.6.
However the launcher seems to appear in Dock Preferenses/Launcher as an "Invalid launcher".

Is the fix really tested? Need any more info?

Confirmed, the package in Jaunty (0.3.2) still can't handle spaces in desktop files.

This could be a candidate for a fix in the package.
