Re: [9fans] Acme: spaces in file names

The last time I checked the display wasn't supported. The Guruplug Display I have gave up the ghost running Linux some two years ago; probably power supply. I just saw that Steve Stallion is working on a Chromebook port. RPi isn't bad, but a chromebook would be great. -Skip On Dec 12, 2013 8:02 A

A kind of crude workaround is using the whole /Users/whatever/file with spaces, selecting it with first button and 1-2 chording it to Get. This works on Mac, problem is that it's quite horrible to do. An intermediate solution may be to use some piping rule like sp:filename with spaces, but I don't

2013-12-12 Thread Robert Raschke
Someone once made a little filesystem that would substitute spaces in filenames with a different character. When placed between the normal fs and Acme, this would make things work quite nicely. If I remember correctly, Acme-SAC (built on top of Inferno) does that by default. No idea where you can
