Hi there, I've encountered a small problem with the emelfm2 file manager. It works great except that it has some problems with pathnames that include the '~' character. I think emelfm2 expands the '~' to the home directory path and therefore refuses to work. The strange thing is that the following happens: Say I have opened /home/user in an arbitrary pane (it doesn't matter if it's the right or the left one). I have a directory named 'documents ~ settings' in /home/user. Now when I double-click on 'documents ~ settings' emelfm2 does nothing. It should however execute the default action, which is open the directory in the current pane. Now if I right-click the directory 'documents ~ settings' and manually select the open-action it has no problem to open the directory. The same thing happens if I want to play some music in this kind of directories. I have set the default action for mp3 files to playback with mpg123. What happens when I simply double click is the following thing: mpg123 "/home/user/documents /home/user settings/music.mp3" and of course mpg123 doesn't find the file Manually selecting mpg123 from the context-menu produces this output: mpg123 music.mp3 This works because emelfm2 doesn't supply the full pathname to mpg123 So there seems to be something wrong with the expanding code handling these special characters (like the '~'). Thanks, Tobias

OK, will do so and report back!
Reporting back! Here is the link to the discussion on the mailing list: http://www.freelists.org/archives/emelfm2/08-2007/msg00011.html Tom did fix the bug, so the ~ is not expanded anymore when contained in a string surrounded by "". Now waiting for a new emelfm2 release. Uhmm, should I change the status?
