I gave up trying to explain to normal people why, when we interchange documents, the names of the files I send back to them never have any spaces in them.
@timbray I don't get it.
I avoided spaces and used 7 Bit ASCII myself for many years.
Since probably a decade, I don't see any issue with spaces. I even started to embrace German Umlaute like äöü or ß without noticing any issue. Even zsh completion is working perfectly fine with those characters.
@publicvoit @timbray for $f in *.ext; do something $f | somethingelse > … mother [expletive] space [expletive] you.
find | xargs
Easy workaround:
find -print0 | xargs -0
No issue at my side as well.
FYI: Local file management is somewhat my passion and fetish since years https://karl-voit.at/tags/pim/
@publicvoit @timbray Regardless of the tooling or how I'll use them, file names with spaces look broken to me and I don't know if I'll ever get over it.
@jbaty @publicvoit @timbray Make tab complete in bash a pain in the neck. I despise them.
