Package: dirvish
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
I was kind of surprised that it did not manage to find documentation
on how to handle this:
--------------
Backup »/media/xpsystem/Dokumente und Einstellungen« and exclude both
»**/Lokale Einstellungen/Temp/« and
»**/Temporary Internet Files/«.
--------------

@argenau:$ zgrep -i escape `dlocate -L dirvish` | wc
      0       0       0

Simply specifying
tree: /media/xpsystem/Dokumente und Einstellungen
cannot work, as the syntac for tree is "tree: path [alias]", i.e. this
would specify tree=/media/xpsystem/Dokumente with an alias of "und
Einstellungen".

Anyway, I just guessed and luckily escaping by using a \ worked for
me both in the specification of tree and in exclude patterns.
--------------------------
client: argenau
tree: /media/xpsystem/Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen
xdev: 1
index: gzip
image-default: %Y%m%d
exclude:
        *.bak
        **Classic/LOGFILES/Upd**
        **Classic/REPORTS/
        **Classic/TEMP
        **Classic/UPGRADE/
        Mozilla/Profiles/**/Cache/
        **/Temporary\ Internet\ Files/
        Anwendungsdaten/Sun/Java/Deployment/cache/
        **/Cookies/
        **/Lokale\ Einstellungen/Temp/
--------------------------
it would be nice if the documentation mentioned that.

thanks, cu andreas
