Although it's mostly xpdf which won't handle spaces in filenames, I'm finding a simple alias useful for the few arriving here: alias unspace="/usr/bin/rename 's/ /_/g' " Filename completion fortunately handles spaces, so: $ touch /tmp/"another spaced filename" $ unspace /tmp/another\ spaced\ filename $ ls /tmp/an* /tmp/another_spaced_filename doesn't require much typing, after the first line. Oh for the halcyon days when we could just tell users that spaces weren't allowed.
