Execute and Wait can find path with a space in it

Post by Todd »

Cobian 2.7.20

Execute and wait can not find a program with a space in the path. Execute and wait can not execute "C:\Program Files\Rakudo\bin\raku.exe" but can execute "C:\Rakudo\bin\raku.exe".

The subject lien should say "can't" not "can"

About 1 out of 10 installs of Reflector I can edit Execute and Wait. (They are all upgrades from Backup at some point.)

I do believe the issue here is that the upgrade does not clean up after itself after importing old settings. I had one last week where the target path got randomly mixed up between two different tasks. I had to completely remove Reflect including its directory on the hard drive and reinstall it to correct the issue.

Try it again after upgrading from reflector 1.0.0.

Perhaps the format changed from 1.0. I'm almost sure.
