In 4.1.1 on Linux, AOO happily opens files with spaces in the names for me, but this is *after* the file is saved. In other words, if you can see the file on your permanent storage medium, assuming your file types are setup correctly, you should be able to click on it, and have it open correctly with AOO. This statement --"and then I click the downloaded file in Chrome so it opens in the registered application," is not making sense to me. Sorry. Please use the forums or user list for additional help with this problem. This does not seem to be an AOO issue at this point. It seems to be Chrome usage problems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue. You are watching all issue changes.
