Public bug reported:

I'm using very simple scripts, but when the file names have spaces in then, 
scripts won't function on the files.  
Using two files:   "myfile   one.txt"   "myfile    two.txt"

What gets passed to the scripts is:   myfile   one.txt   myfile
two.txt

No way to determine what the files are, or to act on them.

Putting quotes around each file name would fix it I believe.

Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop AMD64 with all the updates installed as of today.
