Issue ID: 125879
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Issue opening downloaded files with spaces in name
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.0
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: programming
Assignee: [email protected]

I've come across an issue with opening files with spaces in the name with
Writer (it *may* be the browsers fault?). This may be applicable to the other
apps within Open Office but I haven't tested them.
Basically, if I click to download a file that has spaces in its name within
Chrome, and then I click the downloaded file in Chrome so it opens in the
registered application, OpenOffice Writer will try to open it but fail in the
following way.
Lets say the file name is May 18 Outage.docx
Writer will fail as follows
"File May doesn't exist". I hit Okay
"File 18 doesn't exist". I hit Okay
"Outage.docx doesn't exist". I hit Okay.
Now if I click the link within Chrome to download the file again so the file
name now has (1) in it, the file will open absolutely fine. It appears if the
name has a ( character in it (which I'm assuming it's escaping) it's also
escaping all the spaces as well or wrapping the file name in " ". Again, not
sure if this is how Chrome is passing off the name (maybe it's doing the
quoting of the file name as it passes it off to OpenOffice), but I don't recall
this issue existing with any other applications being passed file names with
spaces from Chrome.
This may relate in a way to ticket
