Package: xapers
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Some filenames have multiple consecutive spaces. For example:
'this filename is multiply spaced.pdf'
Pybtex, like BibTeX, removes multiple consecutive spaces:
'this filename is multiply spaced.pdf'
This means that xapers cannot import a BibTeX file containing paths with
multiple consecutive spaces.
I've attached an example error message when attempting to import an
actual file (err.txt) as well as a python script that runs a minimal
working example.
If the file is imported using "xapers add" instead of "xapers import",
the bibtex file in the subdirectory of ~/.xapers/docs/ will contain the
wrong path, since the consecutive spaces have been removed.
I've reproduced this bug with the latest git revision:
e4131c21bb8222bea6b896e8efe9571aaef87063
from here:
https://finestructure.net/git/xapers
Besides changing the filename, I have not discovered a workaround.
Sincerely,
Nathaniel Beaver
