You can change your lib/plumbing file. If you add a space to the regular expressions in the 'matches' rules it should work. Maybe you will need to have two rules, one for making simple right clicking without selection work in acme (no spaces in the regexp) and the other (with spaces) to be able to select the exact filename, and plumb it, even if it has spaces. Like so:
type   is   text data   matches   '[a-zA-Z¡-￿0-9_\-./]+' data   matches   '([a-zA-Z¡-￿0-9_\-./]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI)' arg   isfile   $0 plumb   to   postscript plumb   start   9 page $file type   is   text data   matches   '[a-zA-Z¡-￿0-9_\-./ ]+' data   matches   '([a-zA-Z¡-￿0-9_\-./ ]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI)' arg   isfile   $0 plumb   to   postscript plumb   start   9 page $file I haven't tried this though. -Fritz Am 22.07.2015 um 15:20 schrieb Eduardo Alvarez: > Hello, all, > > I've recently been introduced to plan9port, and have been fiddling > about with the plumber.
