Title: Rename, Move, Copy Funtion creates proper filepath but with an uneeded space
Post by: lobo85 on August 27, 2015, 04:32:26 pm: I'm trying to change the file locations on Ubuntu 15.04 with Media Center 21.0.6 my problem is that with the find and replace tool an unnecessary space appears in my file path.

Example I type "J" for find what (J:\ is not found for some reason) and type
Code: [Select]
/media/"MY-USERNAME"/FantomHD as replace with.

what winds up happening is that MC now points to
Code: [Select]
/media/"MYUSERNAME"/FantomHD /(FOLDER-WITH-MY-MUSIC)
Any idea on why this happens or anything I can do to fix it?

It might be as simple as adding a trailing "/", but I can't actually see where your extra space is? Is the line break where the extra space is?

I don't know why it would create a space there. Looks odd, indeed.
I could imagine its replacing the : with it, since it considers it an invalid character (and you said you are just replacing J, not J:, right?)

It's a 55" 1080p TV screen, but it's at 150% dpi scaling so I can read it from the couch. So big screen and big font ;D

Maybe it's the leading backslash in the original path being processed as an escape symbol?

Stangely enough it says it is invalid.
