Fails to open images with spaces in names on Ubuntu
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 9:53 pm
I set xnview as my default image viewer so I can double click files to open them.
I noticed if you open any file with spaces in its name, xnview will open with a blank white screen, but works for files with no spaces. I tested the following commands in the terminal to confirm this:
xnview /home/jade/Pictures/nospace.png - xnview window opens and displays the image "nospace.png"
xnview /home/jade/Pictures/Clipboard 1.png - blank xnview window opens with no controls (see attachment)
console output:
I figured adding quotation marks around the file path would fix it, but I get the same result (blank window)
test commands:
xnview "/home/jade/Pictures/Clipboard 1.png" - blank window opens with no controls
xnview "/home/jade/Pictures/nospace.png" - blank window again
Specs:
Operating system - Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64
XnViewMP Version 0.51 (Jun 26 2012)
