[PD] spaces on paths

[Johannes Taelman]

hi enrike + list

I think you can work around this problem in windows by using the legacy
dos (8.3 characters) filename. You can find the 8.3 name with dir (with
some option).

This is off course a "dirty" solution and it's only valid on windows. I
wished there was a general character escape mechanism in messages in PD.
