Blank charcter at end of the name

Post by J E Aragao »

Windows Explorer does not permit a blank character at end of the directory name, but using the "move to" command (ALT+M) of XnView V.1.97, a directory was created with a blank charcter at end of the name, like "C:\Temp\test ". Now I can not remove/delete/rename this directory, using Windows Explorer or DOS Commands ...
How can I fix it?

I used "Alt+M" to move a file, then I typed C:\Temp\test and press "enter".
By my mistake, I pressed the "space bar" after the word "test " creating a blank character after the letter "t".
XnView presented a "pop up" ...
"The C:\Temp\test folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted."
"Do you want to creat it?"
" -- Yes -- -- No -- "
I don't remember if I clicked at Yes or pressed "enter", but the folder name was created with a blank character at end.
