I know that I cannot use filenames like that in the search shortcuts, lipc-set throws an error on all the fun characters like

Code:

$, (, ', " etc.

I wouldn't expect a web browser to pass the url as an argument to system, like I'm sure the update does/did, but I can try it when I get home, to try to see things.

But there is some different behavior from typing an address in, vs clicking al ink to the same path that I will play with.
