Hello.
It's your responsibility to properly escape $1 when you use it in
your script, as in "$1" etc. I have had no problems running Playtpus-
built apps that use $1 from within folders containing spaces,
parentheses, etc.

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
