Hi list,

I have several links that use the fi= le protocol to open files indexed in org entries. They work fine for entrie= s that point to file whose filenames do *not* contain space, but for entrie= s with space in them, it just fails silently. I.e:

=A0 [[file:/Volumes/ext-hd/pdfs/Name\ Of\ The-\ 4th\ file.pd= f]]

I even escaped the filename using the (shell-quote-a= rgument) function when indexing, but no luck.

Any = ideas?

More info:
