Yeah agreed, spaces in paths isn't great. But I had expected that a tool which was supposed to be targeting use under Windows would accommodate the Microsoft enforced paradigms, like spaces in paths. Even more ironic of course that the entire reason the tool exists is to generate Windows Resource files, which would also have these same Microsoft-isms about them ;)
There is a work around, but I'd still like to report it as a bug. I imagine it's trivial to fix, just a case of double quoting something prior to passing it on.

To tell the true, for many reasons, using spaces and special chars in paths is really unreasonable, for a developer. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
