I feel your pain. What I have been doing on the Mac is using cocoaDialog to
create my dialog boxes, handle navigation, and run programs. I solved my "space
in file and folder names" issue by doing something like this to quote each
element in my array of file names (in Perl here).
@Files_list = map { qq/"$_"/ } @Files_list;
Would that help?
