How does addfiles handle filenames with spaces? do I need to use a fixed width and specify a position for the info, escape the spaces in the filename or surround the filename in quotes or something else?
addfiles can handle filenames with spaces when added without a list, no problem. When using a list file (e.g. FILES.BBS) with filenames that contain spaces, just specifying a description offset should allow addfiles to parse the filename correctly, but I haven't tried it myself. I've never seen/tested a files.bbs that contains filenames with spaces in them, so it's possible it's still an issue (even when specifying a description offset). Quotes won't help.
