Feature request: Accept spaces in file path

Hi guys

Just a small bug request. In Honeybee legacy, spaces were allowed when importing a bsdf file, but I can see that it isn’t anymore. Unfortunately, it took me 1,5 days to figure out this simple problem xD
So I manually had to change the name for all my BSDF files.

In this example I used a pre-defined bsdf file from MicroShade. I think that it is unfortunate that the files available on the manufactures websites are invalid because of this little error :confused:

Cheers,
/Mark

Agree, this would be a welcome feature. In the past I’ve had to go back and change people’s/my naming conventions due to this.

Hmm. This one is different and has to do more with Radiance than Ladybug Tools. Putting the path in quotes should probably solve the issue but I’m not sure.

We do support whitespace in paths for the rest of the functionalities.

Hi @MarkLabrosse and @JimMarsh,

I have pushed a fix so you can use xml files with spaces. Use LB Versioner to update the core libraries.

Thanks a lot Mikkel. I’ll test it out some time when my grasshopper canvas isn’t freezing xD
