Bug #22163 for album: Filenames with spaces

Wed Oct 18 18:23:34 2006 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Filenames with spaces

(This report is for version 1.03, but this value was not available in RT's version selector) When album is called on a directory with filenames containing spaces (yes, I know, but that's what you get from Windows-centric people) and an empty "info.dat" exists, then the filenames get unquoted and unescaped into the "info.dat" file. This means that in the next run album will croak about non-existing files. Probably album should quote/escape filenames with spaces, tabs and other whitespace when creating into the info.dat file. Regards, Slaven

Thank you. Though I am curious how you solved it without introducing new separators or escaping characters.

I look for known extensions. foo bar blech.jpg ... This will treat "foo bar bleck.jpg" as the file name. I tried to use Text::Parsewords, but that ran into an unfortunate complication: when the image description contains a single " or ', parsing fails. So a line fobar.jpg This can't happen would not parse anymore. I considered requiring quotes around the description to big a compatibility problem. The only drawback is that the extension must be known, i.e. a known image extenstion, movie extension or html. -- Johan
