I don't think that upstart-app-launch should be inserting quotes into the filename arbitrarily. Instead I think that music app should change its Exec line from:
Exec=music-app --file=%f to Exec=music-app --file="%f" To ensure it gets the file in quotes ** Project changed: upstart-app-launch => music-app ** No longer affects: upstart-app-launch (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to upstart-app-launch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228125 Title: --file= breaks with spaces and single quotes in filename Status in Music application for Ubuntu devices: New Bug description: Hi! testing music-app 0.6bzr110saucy0, I can open foo.flac and foo.mp3 but not: 11 Novembre 1918-58'50''.mp3 I see these processes: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene /usr/share/music-app/music-app.qml --file=/home/phablet/Music/foo.mp3 --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/music-app.desktop /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene /usr/share/music-app/music-app.qml --file=/home/phablet/Music/foo.flac --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/music-app.desktop /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene /usr/share/music-app/music-app.qml --file=/home/phablet/Music/11 Novembre 1918-58'50''.mp3 --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/music-app.desktop so the --file= arg seems correct, somehow music-app doesn't cope with it.
