(oops – correcting some typos in my post)

PathSnagger should not add escape characters (backslash) for spaces in quoted paths.

Actually, I can think of times when even UNquoted paths should not have escape characters in them. So it might be best to make this a user-configurable setting.

Any idea when this will be fixed?

With quotes:
“/Applications/Address(bs) Book.app”

Without quotes:
/Applications/Address(bs) Book.app

Same problem.

It doesn’t! Sigh.

Actually, as a test I’m wondering if typing two blackslashes will render one backslash on the page: \\

WordPress strikes again. Since it seems to be impossible to use the backslash character on this blog, I’ll just use (bs) to indicate a blackslash.

Are you saying that when you snag the Unix path with quotes you’re getting escaped spaces? Or is this happening when you snag the Unix path wihtout quotes?

In other words, this:

â€œ~/Desktop/Menu(bs) Master(bs) Read(bs) Me.rtfdâ€?

~/Desktop/Menu(bs) Master(bs) Read(bs) Me.rtfd

If it’s the second one, that’s by design. If it’s the first example, then that’s a bug.

There is a “\\” single back slash before space.

PathSnagg 1.1b4 converts space character into “”\ ” (without quotes)
“~/Desktop/Menu\ Master\ Read\ Me.rtfd”

Here are 3 variations:
file://
file://localhost/Users/jaychow/Desktop/Menu%20Master%20Read%20Me.rtfd/

Unix:
“~/Desktop/Menu\ Master\ Read\ Me.rtfd”

HFS:
Macintosh HD:Users:jaychow:Desktop:Menu Master Read Me.rtfd:
