Bug Description
If you browse to an executable script and try to associate it with a specific file type (in my case application/pdf) it populates the 'customise' box with an incorrect path (without escaping) where the path has spaces, and maybe where it has any special characters.
On submission, it then silently fails to make the proper association, and when relaunching the file association wizard, no change has been made.
Manually adding the escaping of spaces (add a backslash before each space) is a workaround for this bug.
