Just escape them bro

Kill yourself.

It should be illegal.

>renaming his files

The earliest Unix I can remember using was SUN OS and I used spaces there too, spaces go in filenames that a human will see, you can do whatever you want if it's only for a program.

You better be using a tag based system for heavy file management anyway.

Name 5 things wrong with spaces in filenames

>puts spaces in sentances and peoples names
>but not for any OS files

Sounds to me like Linux is shitty and just cannot handle spaces properaly like Windows and MacOS can.

withoutusingspaces.

Do you use comma's in a filename?

Yeah... can Linux not handle commas either?

>Windows 10
You can probably do it on any version of Windows, the restriction is probably only limited to Explorer.exe, just touch the file like on any other OS instead.

That was funny.

Of course I put spaces in my filenames. English is public domain. Any other method is copyrighted by the creator and thus proprietary. You don't support proprietary naming methodologies, do you?

why\ don't\ you\ escape\ this\ board\ motherfucker

Spaces allow me to search files by multiple words(even partial) in any order, combined with the ability to use boolean operations on these words, wildcards, grouping by parentheses and the fact that I can use it in the browser's file picker makes it pretty much the most convenient image organization system. The only con is shitty NTFS that limits the length of file names.

It does. There's nothing to stop me from going out and fucking a goat square in the asshole but I'm not going to do it.

>his brain doesn't support spaces in file names

NTFS doesn't have a filename restriction, Windows does, and it doesn't even have that anymore. Pic related in next post.

...

Doesn't work for older applications.

Also to be really pedantic and correct myself, Windows doesn't have a filename restriction, the limit is on the full path.

Can you name any specifically that you use? Even prior to this official support I've had plenty of programs accept paths over 260.

There's no reason in this day and age to avoid putting spaces in filenames. And fuck_people_who_use_underscores.

>UKuck layout

Can't check it out since I'm not using 10 right now. But on w8.1 one of those applications is explorer.exe

>not naming all your files in camelCase to upset people

That's real weird, I remember specifically manipulating files over 260 on 7 up to 8.1 in explorer. However I couldn't create them, only navigate them, open them, move them, etc. anything but creation. The files in question came to be when I moved them from 1 location to another using a third party program that, at the time was pretty old compared to the OS.

This problem has never caused me any issues thankfully and I'm glad there is official support for it now, the arbitrary restriction was stupid to begin with. Still though I won't be satisfied until every OS has at least read+write support for ZFS and OS integration, no exceptions.

Yeah, you can open them, but you can't rename them to over maxpath length so what's the point for me.

>not having thousands of files in a folder

Can I ask what your data is? For me it was an autistically nested collection of images that was later imported into a tagged database because fuck hierarchies for image management.

Outside of that I'm curious where people experience friction with the path limit in standard use. I expect most people creating over-max-paths with some external program would use that same program to manage it.

As much as I hate arbitrary limitations like this one, it does make me question if I'm doing something absurd sometimes, it invokes the "there's probably a better way to manage this" thought.

backslash escapes or wrap in double quotes.
>what\ exactly\ is\ you\'re\ fucking\ problem?

>not having hundred thousands of files in thousands of folders

Why don't you just double click the mp3?

>having a mouse
Probably some LED-ridden gayman monstrosity too, I bet.

Images as well, except I rename them (semi)manually. I rename a file using word stubs and then a program expands those stubs into full words(or multiple words) so sometimes the maximum length is exceeded and I can't move that file anymore. I kinda fixed that by making my program move the files automatically after expanding, but still.

Folders are overrated.

because i set my settings to single click.

>he uses binary files

I'll say this, for my image collections I migrated to this hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/
Now I'm not saying you should too, but maybe you'd like it. I would have appreciated it if someone pointed it out to me years before I tried solving this problem myself.

It focuses on tags instead of paths and it has a thing called "siblings" which would let you do your word expansion if you use that primarily for searching . i.e "shorttag == reallylongtagname"

EBCDIC is the master race.

>he

...

Space separated words are pretty much tags when I'm using the search, and it's built-in to the file picker dialog. Also I can type just the beginning of a word and use wildcards.

That program has wildcards and all kinds of other shit, just fyi. If your current system works for you though then more power too you but if it ever gets to be too crazy and the OS starts fighting with you, you might want to give it a test run. Be warned though, it's really autistic.

Prior to migrating I wrote some bullshit that created a bunch of symlinks so that I could have the same file in multiple places without taking up extra space, it also created way to many fucking directory-links that were just stupid, like imagine every folder having sub folders for other things that contain the same tag. It got so bad that I considered writing a filesystem based on dokan myself, that's when I realized I was crazy and thankfully someone mentioned hydrus. It sounds way worse when I type it out like that.

Can I drag'n'drop from it to "Choose file" buttons in browser?

Bash tab completion will escape the spaces for you. Literally not an issue.

You can, you can also get (on the clipboard) a string to the file path(s), the file(s) itself, and other junk. The main problem though is that when you share the file it's named as its hash, it doesn't have the tags in the name, those stay in the database, but you can export those a bunch of different ways. Multi drag and drop also works fine for sites that support multiple files.
