I want to open a tiff file using what ever viewer the PC knows about

"OpenDocument" is the appropriate method. This works fine so long as
the path has no spaces, but OpenDocument calls OpenURL, and that
converts the spaces to %20 s
In trunk it does not replace spaces with %20.
This was reverted in r36934.
I see this in trunk, but not in release 1.0.6, which purports to be
r40xxx ? I upgraded when I saw the note about the reversion in the bug
tracker. (I usually work from trunk on my development PC, but I am
doing this on a separate PC, and wanted to keep the install as simple as
possible).
Anyway, I removed the clause that inserts the %20s, it all works fine,
so I can leave it at that for now.
(This, of course, is the joy of open source software!)
However, I can't help thinking that the REAL problem is that probably
there were originally an OpenURL and an OpenDocument for a reason.
OpenURL could be optimised for URLs, OpenDocuments for file system
documents. OpenDocument could possibly look for a '://' and pass it off
to OpenURL if it found one.
