When I double-click on my document (let's say, an SVG file), and its full path contains some spaces, PCManFM gives an error message saying that tere is no such file or catalog. It also shows the command it tried to run, and it contains the part of the file's path name before the very first space in it. For example: "/home/user/My Documents/MyPicture.svg" If I double-click on it, PCManFM would say something like "unable to start the child process '/home/user/My' (no such file or directory)". I'm not sure whether this is a PCManFM's problem of Inkscape's one actually (since I can easily open PDF files with ePDFView from the very same catalog), but something definitely goes wrong. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a directory which name would contain some spaces. 2. Create an .svg file in it. 3. Open this directory in PCManFM. 4. Double-click on the .svg-file to open it with Inkscape. Actual Results: PCManFM gives an error message and seems like trying to run a part of the file's path as a program. Expected Results: The double-clicked .svg file should be opened with Inkscape. emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.12.1-r1, 2.6.35-gentoo x86_64)

I noticed this with other applications too.
I can't reproduce it. Just created an folder "test foo" and a file "my foo.txt" inside. I doubled clicked on folder, pcmanfm entered the dir successfully, and when I doubled clicked the file, kate opened it just fine
I can't reproduce it on my / fs either. Looks like it only happens on my 'vfat' formatted usb drive.
Like I have mentioned above, I can open PDF files from such directories too, but not SVG files with Inkscape. So, this is, obviously, application-dependent case.

Did you try to use another fm ( nautilus, dolphin ) and see if you experience the same weird behavior?

Ok. I sent an email to upstream about this
Could you please try libfm/pcmanfm 9999 and see if it still fails for you? Thanks
(In reply to comment #8) > Could you please try libfm/pcmanfm 9999 and see if it still fails for you? > Thanks > Today I've tried pcmanfm-9999 and it shows the very same behaviour that the previous version did. It still does not allow to open some files which full path contains spaces with siple double-clicking.

They released 0.9.8 but this problem is still there. I contacted the upstream again.
http://pcmanfm.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=pcmanfm/libfm;a=commitdiff;h=96fa31c757189c7c5f60d4de4c2df236d2cba0ea I guess you can try to build libfm-9999 again. It is supposed to be fixed now

It also lets me open PDF files via double-click, but not SVG or plain text files. Just like in the case I reported at the very beginning of this thread.
Maybe you want to contact upstream directly using their bugzilla or email pcman.tw_AT_gmail_DOT_com I can't reproduce your problem so you might be able to give them more accurate information than me

Here is a link: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3096318&group_id=156956&atid=801864
0.9.8 no longer on tree. Maybe you want to try the fresh snapshot instead
(In reply to comment #17) > 0.9.8 no longer on tree. Maybe you want to try the fresh snapshot instead > I have emerged x11-misc/pcmanfm-0.9.9_pre20110202 and it looks like this issue has been fixed now. At least, I cannot reproduce it.
Yes this seems to be fixed in last snapshots :)
