And I aggree that ideally filenames shouldn't have whitespaces in them however real world is far from ideal. The point I was trying to make was, I think we are seeing a pattern here just like systemd debate. While it's effect is relatively minor in this example some developer thinks forcing such stuff on people is ok. Especially on a tool like ls. I remember similar arguments with journald, where even the systemd fanboys complained, and the response was, "but you caan always switch it off" . And now they tell us to add such and such switch to our aliases to work as we would normally. Who knows what 8.25 will break. And also I'm thinking what's the next surprise gonna be. -- Aldemir -- -- aldemir
