I will correct you - I develop ETL & WebDAV stuff - filenames with spaces and "special" characters are not a problem on UNIX systems. Not at all. They can be a real annoyance for things like shell scripts which manipulate files based on name AND assume characters have meaning. They aren't a problem anywhere else [ just stop writing shell scripts ]. > of "special" characters like spaces, &, *, etc is a simple > operation which eliminates lots code ( and therefore lots > of bugs ) Nope. > Additionally, if you try to handle one two three.jpg from the > command line, you will have to resort to quoting or > regular expression matching to access the file. If you aren't quoting filenames you have a serious security problem. On modern systems tab completion will do this for you. On the other hand, I don't have any issues with Evolution changing the filename. What's that sensitive to filenames? Technically, however, the client shouldn't manipulate the payload of the message. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us/> _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
