blanks in folder names or file names hose up launch of ImageJ

[Rick Simmons]

Help.  When launching an image file from Windows Explorer, Image J apparently does not know how to properly manage blanks in folder names or blanks in file name.  Is there a command line prompt, configuration setting, or option that can be specified so that the blanks are ignored?

Thanks,
Rick Simmons

Rick,

I believe you can use drag-n'-drop to open files in ImageJ, blanks or no
blanks (though, in general, having blanks in file/directory names is a
certainly a bad idea).

Hi Rick,

do you refer to file names passed via the command line? If so, did  
you try to put them between quotes?

Do you refer to macros? In ImageJ Macros, put square brackets around  
arguments that contain spaces. e.g.
   run("Raw...", "open=[C:\Documents and Settings\user3\img.raw]  
image=[32-bit Unsigned] width=100 height=100 offset=0 number=1 gap=0");

Thanks for responding.
Basically, what I would like to be able to do is to double click on an
image file (in windows explorer) and have ImageJ launch and
automatically load the image. This works fine as long as the image file
name contains no blanks and the path to the folder containing the file
contains no blanks.  Any blanks in either of these locations result in a
series of error messages when ImageJ trys to load the file.  The error
messages indicate that ImageJ is splitting the path/filename up by the
blanks present therein.
