If I use a .jpg with a name containing one (or some) space, then the "the image file name.jpg" file is deleted

To reproduce (windows xp):
1-) into the XnView 1.97b1 Browser mode menu, select a jpg with spaces into the name ... then : Edit\Metadata\Edit GPS .... Write
2-) then the image is deleted
Here this exiftool function works with Windows XP sp2, if jpg files do not contain a (or some) spaces in the name.
FI: this function does not work here into Ubuntu + Wine, maybe it will be interesting to have an option to have the ability to use the perl exiftool version in this case, instead the stand-alone .exe windows version ?
