Opening file with space in its path doesn't work

[Kamil Páral]

I have bzr repository in a path which contains directory with space inside its name. In this repository I can't right click any file and click Open, nothing happens, except "fstat(): No such file or directory". Maybe some other actions doesn't work too. Please handle spaces inside filenames.

Olive 0.96.0dev1

Tried to reproduce the bug, but couldn't. I have created a new branch, with a directory under it that contains spaces, and a file under that directory. Olive seemed to work just fine. (This was using bzr-gtk trunk on Ubuntu 9.04.)

Ok, I have repository in directory:
/home/ripper/work/skola/FI MU/projects/SDIPR
I run olive-gtk, go to the directory, right click on annotation.txt and hit Open. Therefore this is the path of the file:
/home/ripper/work/skola/FI MU/projects/SDIPR/annotation.txt
And this is what I get in the console:

$ olive-gtk
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/bzrlib/plugins/gtk/ui.py:224: DeprecationWarning: bzrlib.progress.ProgressBarStack was deprecated in version 1.12.
  self._progress_bar_stack = progress.ProgressBarStack(klass=widget)
Error showing url: Error stating file '/home/ripper/work/skola/FI': No such file or directory

You see, the error message is ending right at the place where a space is (inside "FI MU").

I am using Olive 0.96.0dev1, standard from Ubuntu 9.04. I don't know if it is different from your "trunk" version.

Found the bug and have submitted a fix through Launchpad. Not sure when it will show up in either Lucid or Maverick, I'm new to the submitting patches game, but hopefully soon.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

This fix won't show up in Lucid or Maverick, but it should be possible to get it into Natty.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

I forgot to say, thanks for submitting a patch!

Unfortunately Olive is unmaintained at the moment, and not packaged in Ubuntu. So my earlier comment is only valid if somebody packages Olive for Natty.

[Edward Ari Bichetero (ebichete)]

Jelmer, does unmaintained mean that these simple fixes won't get merged ? And by "not packaged in Ubuntu" do you mean "not in main" or not at all (not in main, universe, multiverse) ?

I ask because I am planning to upgrade to 10.10 but have become rather attached to using Olive as part of my workflow.
