    I have no patience for "is it bad that." I don't need to ask. I know its bad.

    I do it anyway.

    that's not a valid filename

    actually it is, but filenames with spaces in are slightly evil, so
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    i was referring to the question mark

    but yes, a trailing space is technically valid but also very, very evil

    I've seen theories that "Program Files" was so named as a way of forcing Windows 95 apps to properly support directory names with spaces...

    Same, but I can't find anything Raymond Chen said saying that so I doubt it's true.  When asked, he mentioned the difference between programs and program files, not spaces.

    Yeah, I saw that too.

    If nothing else, it's a nice side effect of the naming, since I can imagine developers in 1994-95 ignoring the whole "FAT32 long filename" thing if they thought they could get away with it.

    yeah, when I looked it up I saw comments on his blog saying a lot of Italian programs failed a lot because they had a single word for program files

    I knew Unix people who used to complain mightily about spaces in file names, but then this was also in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when old versions of Solaris and HP-UX without BASH or even a decent ksh were still around...

    That and interop with PCs and Macs was still considered somewhat below them, because lol Windows 95 and lol System 7/Mac OS 8. People got less derisive about it after Windows XP and Mac OS X were available.

    Well spaces in filenames are pretty standard these days.

    But not spaces at the <i>ends</i> of filenames.  That will cause the file to be inaccessible except via 8-character shortened name.

    Ubuntu's screenshot utility, by default, saves images with the date and time for the filename.

    Which isn't usually a problem...except it will happily write files with : in the name to an NTFS partition, rendering Windows unable to do anything with them.
