Hello Chris,

I forward one posting from FreeMind open discussion forum to the 
freemind-developer list because I share the questions asked here and have never 
understood the reasons for the described change. FreeMind 0.9.0 works 
differently from the old version and also differently when it runs with java 5 
or java 1.4.2 . 

for instance a link to file "C:/Eigene Dateien/100% file.txt" is saved as

With 0.8.1: LINK="../../../../C:/Eigene Dateien/100% file.txt" 
 
With 0.9.0 java 5: LINK="../../../../C:/Eigene Dateien/100% file.txt" 
 
With 0.9.0 java 6: LINK="../../../../C:/Eigene%20Dateien/100%25%20file.txt" 

And I also think that the old behavior is the most transparent and easy to use. 
the forwarded posting also explains some disadvantages of the new solution.

Could you be so kind to explain your reasons to me and to this guy? May be it 
reverting the change would be better?

FYI: we already started to discuss the issue in a freeplane forum too

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3330381&forum_id=758437

and I still do not see advantages of URI based link representation.

Kind regards,
Dimitry

Betreff: [freemind - Open Discussion] Confused about spaces in hyperlinks


Read and respond to this message at: 
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7505647
By: gtdxp

I use links extensively in FreeMind, including links to documents, executable
files, folders, web pages, other mm files, and nodes in other mm files. This
functionality proves to be extremely useful.

Before 0.9.0 beta 16, spaces are fine if they are included as part of the link,
such as "C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Map 1.mm". I could also
add "#ID_1118343456" at the end of the link to point to a node in the mm file.

In the recent RC releases, it seems that links created with Insert->Hyperlink
(File Chooser) converts all spaces to %20. Also, if I manually create a link
with Insert->Hyperlink (Text Field), and paste a link with spaces, the link
may not work. Some of the examples include:
New Mindmap.mm
New Mindmap.mm #ID_1118343456
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\New Mindmap.mm #ID_1118343456

So my questions are:
1. Is this the intended behavior or there is something wrong with my settings?
1. Do I have to convert all spaces in a link to %20?
2. Is there a setting that can make the "old style" links work again?

I don't understand exactly why the old behavior is not supported. My argument
against conversion to %20 is that the links may not be compatible with other
programs, say Windows Explorer.

Thanks for the great work.
