MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - URL-encoded characters in path when launching the viewer

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). I just installed calibre 0.6.16 using the linux installer (with the "Unsupported Distributions" command).

Calibre runs properly, but can not launch the viewer with the correct path. I added an e-book to my collection, and when trying to view it, it does nothing and I get the following message in the console:

Code:

Error: no such file "/home/julien/docs/books/John%20S.%20Townsend/A%20Modern%20Approach%20to%20Quantum%20Mechanics%20(5)/A%20Modern%20Approach%20to%20Quantum%20Mechanics%20-%20John%20S.%20Townsend.djvu"

It replaced all spaces by their URL-encoded equivalent (%20). I did not find any tickets relating to this issue.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ? Should I submit a new ticket ?
