[platypus-dev] Bug with '$1' variable in Platypus 3.2?

Hi,

I just found Platypus, and am having some fun with it. However, I've run into a problem.

I believe the $1 variable, which is supposed to hold the path to the current directory has a bug.

If the current path contains folders with a space in their name, the $1 variable doesn't contain the escape character for spaces.

Example:
My path is:
/Tools/OpenGL Tools/current/

$1 contains:
"/Tools/OpenGL Tools/current/
$1 should contain:
"/Tools/OpenGL\ Tools/current/

Because #1 doesn't contain the escape character, using it in a script doesn't work.
The shell looks for:
/Tools/OpenGL


Am I just doing something wrong? If this is indeed a bug, any chance it can go on the list for 3.3?

Thanks,
Tony Thomson
