Public bug reported: I have a folder of background images that I want to rotate through via wallstreet.
For historical reasons, that lives in a directory that gets automatically synced across multiple of my machines and the folder name has a white space in it: ~/Pictures/Background Images I can obviously fix this on my end by using a folder without a white space in it (and I have confirmed it works fine then), but I noticed a curious behaviour of the file/folder picker in the wallstreet control tool. When I navigate to the folder, it gets selected and stored as: /home/kai/Pictures/Background%20Images, using a %20 as the space indicator. The applet then doesn’t work and I have this in syslog: wallstreet-autostart.desktop[24507]: Error opening directory “/home/kai/Pictures/Background%20Images”: No such file or directory Access to the dir this way in a shell similarly fails: $ ls /home/kai/Pictures/Background%20Images ls: cannot access '/home/kai/Pictures/Background%20Images': No such file or directory The correct way to access the directory would be $ ls /home/kai/Pictures/Background\ Images/ Ideally the folder picker from wallstreet would create this notation for a folder with a white space in its name instead.
