#292 Shortcuts on linux does not support blank spaces on path

hi damon,

i noticed that if the user selects a destination directory with blank spaces (e.g. /home/<user>/my product) on linux the shortcuts does not work properly.

important things:
- the launch product checkbox [in the installation complete screen] works fine
- the installer succesfully copy the files to the correct destination directory

you can solve this problem updating the shortcuts blank spaces on the selected path to slash blank spaces (\ ) and every think will work just fine ;)

thanks,

pj.

a better suggestion is to you just quote the roll path to avoid multiple blank spaces in the path.
i suppose what you probably have as code is something like ln -s $1 $2. so, if you just include the quotes to the command, for example, ln -s '$1' '$2' it probably will work.

Would quoting with double quotes work? IE:

ln -s "$1" "$2"

I'm pretty sure that will work, but I wanted you to test before I code up the change.

hi damon,

i tested and both (single and double quotes) work successfully.
the test was performed on ubuntu 8.04.
