Nemo Meld context menu entries "Compare later" and "Compare with saved element" do not work with file names that have spaces
To reproduce:
- Have 2 files in the same directory with the same name except for " (copy)" at the end of one of them.
- For example, have files named
.bashrc
and.bashrc (copy)
.
- For example, have files named
- In Nemo, use "Compare later" on the copy and "Compare with saved element" on the original.
Observed behavior:
- Meld says that it's comparing the same file with itself, and shows only the original in the address bar of both panes.
- A workaround is to remove the space from the copy's file name.
- In the original example, the workaround would require the copy's name to be
.bashrc(copy)
.
- In the original example, the workaround would require the copy's name to be
- A workaround is to remove the space from the copy's file name.

Expected behavior:
Meld is expected to compare the files with each other regardless of particular characters in their file names.
