How do I open folders containing a blank in a quicklist?

Question

I am having problems when I want to use a folder name containing a blank (Hentede filer in my case). It is in the line: Exec= Hentede filer of the .desktop file but that doesn't work.

[Downloads Shortcut Group]
Name=Hentede filer
Exec=nautilus Hentede filer
TargetEnvironment=Unity

Answer 1

Change it to nautilus "Hentede filer"

For future reference: you can test these by issueing the command in a terminal like so:

.

It will open it if it the command is correct or give an error message if it is not. Since I do not have a "Hentede filer" I get this message:

But as you can see it errors out on not finding it but it does show it tries to open it the way you want it to.

Answer 2

Try changing to:

[Downloads Shortcut Group]
Name=Hentede filer
Exec=nautilus Hentede\ filer
TargetEnvironment=Unity

In fact, in linux blanks are identified by the "\" key code (backslash+blank).
