gEDA-bug: [Bug 726828] Re: xgsch2pcb breaks with spaces in filenames

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is also a gsch2pcb bug...

gsch2pcb stores the list of schematics as a space-separated list, and
doesn't appear to support any form of escaping.

Since gsch2pcb launches gnetlist using g_spawn_command_line_sync ()
which processes the command-line from a string passed to it.. it seems
possible that things might "just work" with judicious placement of ""
quotes around schematic filenames.

Quoting the docs for that function:

On Windows, please note the implications of g_shell_parse_argv() parsing
command_line. Parsing is done according to Unix shell rules, not Windows
command interpreter rules. Space is a separator, and backslashes are
special. Thus you cannot simply pass a command_line containing canonical
Windows paths, like "c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe", as the
backslashes will be eaten, and the space will act as a separator. You
need to enclose such paths with single quotes, like "'c:\\program
files\\app\\app.exe' 'e:\\folder\\argument.txt'".

Title:
  xgsch2pcb breaks with spaces in filenames

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When creating a project (in this case from a template), with a space
  in the project name, the template copied schematics to names which had
  a space in them. The resulting .gsch2pcb file was not suitably quoted,
  and the file-names were broken at the space.
