Bug Description
For example, when I select above files in Nautilus:
~/untitled folder/1.jpg
~/untitled folder/2.jpg
Result: neither F2 or right-click menu ("Rename") opens the GUI: simply nothing happens.
When I select files below in Nautilus, the GUI opens and everything works correctly:
~/untitledfolde
~/untitledfolde
- It does not matter if the selected files or folders contain spaces or not, only if a parent folder (any of them) has a space in the name
- It's possible that other special characters also cause this, but I have not found any yet by random testing

I have tested this behavior under GNOME nautilus 3.8.1. This problems seems to be with the invalid URI's passed by nautilus to its bulk-rename-tool, registered in '/org/gnome/ nautilus/ preferences/ bulk-rename- tool'.
For example, for the selected files "/home/ thura/Developme nt/nautilus- renamer/ untitled/ untitled 2/testfile*", nautilus passed the following uris as arguments.
file:// /home/thura/ Development/ nautilus- renamer/ untitled/ untitled02/ testfile21 /home/thura/ Development/ nautilus- renamer/ untitled/ untitled02/ testfile22 /home/thura/ Development/ nautilus- renamer/ untitled/ untitled02/ testfile23 /home/thura/ Development/ nautilus- renamer/ untitled/ untitled02/ testfile24

So, this is a nautilus bug. Please, report in nautilus instead.
