2021-03-23 13:26:00 Potet description Special characters are escaped with backslash when copying file paths in Nautilus. Say I have a PDF file named "date - document.pdf". The expected output from copy path would be: > /home/user/date - document.pdf Instead, Nautilus returns the following: > /home/user/date\ -\ document.pdf ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.38.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-45.51-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-45-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu50.5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Mar 23 14:18:19 2021 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view' b'default-zoom-level' b"'large'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'sidebar-width' b'229' b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'initial-size' b'(944, 620)' b'org.gnome.nautilus.preferences' b'search-view' b"'icon-view'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'where', 'date_modified', 'date_modified_with_time', 'date_accessed', 'recency', 'starred', 'detailed_type']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-08-08 (593 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Release amd64 (20190416) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to groovy on 2020-10-29 (144 days ago) usr_lib_nautilus: evince 3.38.0-1 file-roller 3.38.0-1 nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal 3.38.0-1ubuntu1.1 nautilus-share 0.7.3-2ubuntu3 python3-nautilus 1.2.3-3 Special characters (at least spaces) are escaped with backslash when copying file paths in Nautilus. Say I have a PDF file named "date - document.pdf". The expected output from copy path would be: > /home/user/date - document.pdf Instead, Nautilus returns the following: > /home/user/date\ -\ document.pdf It would be more natural not to escape spaces, since they are not escaped for example in the terminal.
