Re: [O] Org links that point to filenames with space do not open

OK, found the issue, had to use url-insert-entities-in-string instead of shell-quote-argument.

Thanks,

Nick, it's a custom script... however, it looks like I was using the wrong format. Instead of escaping the space chars, I should uri-encode them it seems. I'll try that. Thanks!

This is a link to a directory. I grabbed it with C-c l and inserted it
with C-c C-l. It seems to work fine:

[[file:lib/music/Arnold%20Schoenberg/Moses%20und%20Aron/][Moses und Aron]
