Hi Aleksander,

thanks for the info. So this means I have to use space as separator in file 
names? Any possiblities to change that? I can understand it from a technical 
point of you but why is this restriction opposed on the user. There are enough 
arguments to not use spaces in filenames?

Kind of confused ;-)

Cheers,

Thomas
