Can't email files with spaces in the file name since 10.5.2 upgrade

Not sure if this is a bug with Leopard or I'm being stupid (possibly the later) but... Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you know what is causing it? I am currently unable to send a file that has a space in the file name. The only change on my system that has occurred since I last sent and email in a similar way is I've updated my OS from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2. Any ideas how to fix it?

Sorted. Well sort of. I still have the problem but I know why. Apparently O2 will not allow anyone to send an attachment which has a space in the name. They claim that this reduces spam - no idea why they think that will stop spam but there you go...

  • Using Mac OS, Firefox 3.6 will not save nor open html files with spaces in the file name. Will version 4.0 do this?

    I have hundreds of saved files with names that have spaces in them (like movie 10 41.html). I could not use Firefox 3.6 because it would not open these files for viewing and had to reinstall Firefox 3.5.8 which I have now. If I install Firefox 4.o, will I have the same problem? I use Mac OS 10.5

    I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
    Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
    In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

  • How move file with space in the name to another foler on Linux from ABAP?

    Hi experts,
    My requirement is to move the file on Linux to another folder via ABAP program.
    IN SM49 is defined ZMOVE command for "mv" operating system command. In ABAP, fm:
    SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE calls ZMOVE external command to move the file to another folder.
    But in case that file has space in the file name, then the fm gives error and the file can not be moved.
    I have tried as given in the Note 1152084 - Parameter for external commands but it doesn't work.
    Don't know if the reason is that the note is for Windows or Unix and we have Linux.
    So, I have tried with ''%file name%' and '''file name'''.
    PLease advice hoe to move file on Linux to another folder from ABAP program if the file has spec in the name.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Danijela Zivanovic

    Hi,
    You can also try :
    mv "file\ name" /<path_to_new_dir>
    (Put "\" before each space)

  • Can't open a file with spaces on the filename.

    Lets say I have a file:
    /home/orv/Open - Me - Please.txt
    When I double click to open that file with any program, the result is something like this:
    "Unable to find /home/orv/Open%20-%20Me%20-%20Please.txt"
    I'm not sure what to call that process of converting the file name so I've been unable to google it up to find a fix or a way to change the behavior of the file manager.
    I've checked the settings in Nautilus and nothings there. Any clues? Thank you!

    I tried removing everything in my home directory to erase all settings, still the same problem.
    I tried using a different file manager and still the same problem.
    Here's another example of my problem and its quirks:
    Lets say I have a file called:
    /home/orv/I am a Movie.avi
    In nautilus or thunar, double-clicking that file so I can play it with Mplayer will give an error:
    Failed to open file:///home/orv/I%20am%20a%20Movie.avi
    However, when I drag and drop using the file manager into Mplayer, it works.
    So my problem is this automatic conversion of whitespaces into the %20 which I don't know how to turn off.

    But I get this error message:

    My question is: where the f.... does it get the 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\  from, and how can I fix it?
    One issue is the space in the folder name. I have tried to replace the space with %20 and then remove the "" s around the whole url, but without any luck.
    When I log on the server on which Pi is running I can access the folder using the mentioned url including the ""s.
    All suggestions would be highly appreciated!

  • Programmatic launch of reader 11.0.3 won't open file with spaces in the path?

    The application I work on uses a PDF file for online help.  We programmatically launch the help file into the user's PDF viewer.  The path to the help file may have spaces in the directory names or filename.  With previous versions of Adobe Reader, it would launch just fine (path passed in on the command line).  However, with 11.0.3, I find that if I don't include an extra set of quotation marks around the path, it fails to open when there are spaces in the directory name.  What changed between then and now to cause this problem?  If I add extra quotation marks, will users with an older version of Reader not be able to open the file?
    Edit -- running in Windows 7, launched from C# .NET 3.5.

  • Temporary files with a "~" in the file name

    when i open an html file i see that another file with the same name, plus a tilde sign (~) after it, is automatically created in the folder that this file sits in. this is supposedly a temporary file? these files are  NOT temporary, they never go away. and they start adding up in my folder and it gets very confusing as to which file i'm working on. sometimes there will be a file with two "~ ~" in them.
    when i close the "original file", the tilde files don't disappear, they stay. On top of that, to make things more confusing, there is also some weird autosave function and i also get files that say filename(Autosaved). Before i know it there are 10 files with various names sitting there and it gets very confusing to know what is the "real" file.  does anyone know how to stop the creation of these "temporary" files? i'm enclosing a screenshot that shows all these files with tildes and the autosaved  file.

  • LibreOffice can't open files with spaces in the name

    Hi, so I recently installed LibreOffice (from extra) over go-OO. I know the site says it's not for production use but I have heard good things about the stability of the current version so I decided to see if it was in a usable state. In general things are going great, but I do have the problem mentioned in the thread title. The program has trouble parsing the spaces, and instead I am trying to open each space-delimited section of the filename as a separate file. Trying to open "My File.odt", for example, will simply return two error messages, one about "path/to/current/directory/My" not existing, and another about "path/to/current/directory/File.odt" not existing. I can't seem to get around this behaviour and, surprisingly, I can't find anything on it by Googling.
    I know that LO is in beta and this may just be a bug that is being worked on, but since I can only find one reference to it on the net I thought that maybe others were not having this problem or had found a way around it.  Can anyone provide any insight? Cheers!

    I noticed that commenting out that code allows LibreOffice to open spaced filenames, but seems to slightly increase startup time.
    I tried replacing $* with "$*", and opening from the command line seems to work even for files with spaced names, with the faster startup time too. The only problem is that now LO does not work at all by clicking; only from command line.

    Hi
    I have an FTP adapter that does a ListFiles of all the files in a directory. It comes back and everything works fine however it removes all spaces from the filename meaning when I do the GET afterwards this fails as it is a different filename.
    The filename is a0eQ0000000wJVdIAM~1~ technote316.TIF note the space between ~ and technote.

    Hi PG,
    Is your private file in the form of Java Keystore (.jks)? I had used .ppk file and it was a success.
    If it is .jks in your case, try using the same password for private key as of keystore file (.jks). I hope you're not supplying any PASSWORD in the Adapter properties.

    If I run:
    for i in "$( find * /Users/<username>/Desktop )"
    I get every full path for each file on the Desktop, but they're all run together on a single line as below:
    Desktop/a folder with a lot of spaces in its filename Desktop/file1 Desktop/file2 Desktop/file3
    How do I get the following output?
    Desktop/a folder with a lot of spaces in its filename
    Desktop/file1
    Desktop/file2
    Desktop/file3

    Actually I tend to avoid loops like the plague. Don't know why, and of course you can't always do that …
    Something piped into a *while read variable* loop is one of my favorite things to do in a shell script, especially throw-away scripts:
    find * /Users/<username>/Desktop/ | while read file
    do
    [[ "$file" = .app/ ]] && continue
    echo "$file"
    done
    It gives me tons of control. I've started with a simple one-off throw-away script to do something quick, and find it so useful that I add things, and eventually I end up with a 5,000 line utility that I cannot live without. All from a simple while loop.
    My other favorite throw-away script is where I have a list of objects (often a list of files). I use a here document on those:
    while read file
    do
    if ! gvimdiff -f $file /path/to/prev/version/$file; then
    exit # :cq will cause a non-zero gvimdiff exit code
    fi
    done <<EOD
    file1.c
    file2.c
    file3.c

  • Unable to access files with spaces in the path

    Hi all, I am accessing files which reside on the server using a java applet.
    The typical path of a file could be:
    http://192.168.0.2/agat/data/AF190701 0003.agt
    (not the space in the filename).
    When I try to open this file using a URL object:
    URL file = new URL(filename);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(file.openStream()));
    I get exception 400 ( I think) whihc I assume is file cant be found.
    However when I rename the file (to get rid of that space) and also change the filename variable to suit. The file is opened as expected.
    What should I do to make the applet able to open paths with spaces? Or is this just not possible.
    I did try including quotes with the special characte precessor:
    filename = "/"http://192.168.0.2/agat/data/AF190701 0003.agt/""
    But this didnt work either, please could someone tell what I need.
    Thanks.

    Thanks guys, although before I got your replies I did the following - it seems to work, but shall try your suggestions.
    while (file.lastIndexOf(" ") >0)
    String temp;
    int num = file.lastIndexOf(" ");
    temp = file.substring(0, num) + "%20" + file.substring(num+1, file.length());
    file = temp;
    }

  • When downloading a file with spaces in the filename, v36.0.3 fails to download properly

    When I try to download the following file with the link:
    https://attachments.posteli.com/posteli.com/Christian.Steiner/96acd19d-8859-404d-9f19-76ba6c448f0c/96acd19d-8859-404d-9f19-76ba6c448f0c-19 MB PDF.pdf
    Other browsers are fine, but Firefox doesn't handle the spaces properly and the download fails.
    https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=firefox%20ignores%20content-disposition%20filename

    In order to post the link you want us to click, could you enclose it in [square brackets]?
    For those generating the filename portion of the header, it would be best to replace the spaces with %20 (URI encoding for space).

  • How do you know when the person that you've shared the file with has downloaded the file?

    After the person get the email that says "I am sharing these files with you.   Click on the image below to view or download your file.", how do you know that they've viewed or downloaded the file?  Do you get an email message or is there something in the shared status that lets you know?

    Thank you for your post. Although this is a feature for Buzzword, right now it's not possible to know if someone has viewed a file you've sent via Share. We are working to integrate Share/My Files/Buzzword so that this will be corrected in future.
    Let me know if you have additional questions.
