Rather than escaping spaces (and all other characters that may cause problems when used in a command), you could just escape double-quotes, and enclose the path name in double-quotes when building the command for LEP. I haven’t tested the 4D Convert path system to POSIX command to see if it escapes double-quotes, I would just tell the users not to use quotes in their file/folder names.
