Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Consider such filename PhotoSketch: A Photo-Centric 3D Modeling Tool.avi It is a valid unix filename, however I am unable to play such video in Kaffeine when Kaffeine is launched from command line Also I could have a text file named MyDoc: report.txt and Kate refuses to open it with similar error. I think it is not fault of individual app, but KDE itself.
Works fine here. Are you forgetting to escape the special characters? What error do you get?
Of course I am not forgetting about escaping, Konsole does it for me (bash excatly). Errors vary -- they depend of the app. Kaffeine for example shows: "The specified file or url was not found. Please check it. (hashing:%20Searching,%20Sketching.avi)" (oh, and a crash on exit also :-) ). It was executed like this: kaffeine Hashing\:\ Searching\,\ Sketching.avi It is fully playable if I run kaffeine and then open this file.
