PRein11877yI had major issues with spaces in filenames even when using Windows many years ago. Since then I don't trust any OS to handle these filenames properly.
I think my problem then had something to do with Eclipse. -

Well weirdly enough I actually name my folders and files without spaces and I'm on macOS hehe (ok I like Linux a lot, given, but still)
-
brahn15747yThink this is universal to having ever worked with a command line tool, especially one that doesn't escape user input folder names.
Once burned, forever shy! -
WhoCode12687yI never used spaces in namings since I had my first contact to computer science and programming. Until today it saved me so much time avoiding naming issues :) Since I use Linux I often have issues with data structures from some windows users but it's ok. I also have to use windows sometimes and understand the fact that it's so easy naming folders in a really human way.

l0om17167yI did, and I still do, even though I switched from Linux to Mac more than 10 years ago.

Remove specific chars
8gb mp3 moved with no error
Friend thinks I'm a master super pro know everything hacker ...
Just remembered what I whent trough with my first ntfs HD and fat (not fat32) pens. -
donuts238487yWell that's one thing nice about Linux, don't have to worry about spaces in path names. Those " in scripts get annoying and sometimes don't work....
Wait.... why are we still using shell scripts.... IMO those are still a pain in the ass to write.... Python FTW! (That's kind of the primary reason I learned it; its better than shell scripting languages and doesn't have the setup overhead of Java/C#) -
Quirinus7537y@RodrigoF Yep, DOS habits die hard. I still sometimes use _ instead of space to prevent Windows from wrapping.

vergil7777y@billgates But you gotta accept the power of shell scripting. Python is good but shell scripting is still my first choice for mundane tasks
