Yes you are right. The the png, jpg formats (require the platimg addon) handle
paths with spaces as long as you enclose them in double quotes. I don't think
the routines that write gif, tif (require the platimg addon), emf and bmp can
handle paths with spaces at the moment.
pd 'reset'
pd i.5 24
pd 'show'
pd 'save png "c:\temp\new folder\test ping.png"'
1294380
fexist 'c:\temp\new folder\test ping.png'
1
pd 'save bmp "c:\temp\new folder\test ping.bmp"'
|length error: isi_bmp
| file=.>{.msk #arg
pd 'save bmp c:\temp\new folder\test ping.bmp'
fexist 'c:\temp\new folder\test ping.bmp'
0
fexist 'c:\temp\new.bmp'
1
