It also affects uninstalling *any* .directory file, with spaces or not, if `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/applications-merged` contains a `.menu` file with spaces. In this case, a simple `xdg-desktop-menu uninstall vendor-foo.directory vendor-bar.desktop` *freezes*. Notice there's no spaces in those names! This was reported in Ubuntu as <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/xdg-utils/+bug/1432932">https://bugs.launchpad.net/xdg-utils/+bug/1432932</a> , and it contains a working patch that does not seem ugly: it simply quotes the vars as they should be. "avoiding the use of .desktop filenames with spaces" is not always an option: wine creates such files, and they do so by design (its .menu files are named after their windows `.lnk` counterparts). So if a user has wine-installed games, no other software will be able to uninstall its own .directory files! Any chance this patch could be merged?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
