Jumpcutter can't handle inputs with spaces

./jump --input_file filename\ with\ spaces will try to load from filename

Definitely seems like a problem in argparse, but there might be an easy way to make it still work.

Obviously there is an easy workaround of naming a file without spaces, but it would be nice to allow it.

@abhiTronix That’s a hacky solution. We need to replace shell invocations with pure argument-list ones.

This is actually the correct way to do it: https://github.com/balsoft/jumpcutter/blob/5a5adddd14cf4242cfb54ec26ae6a043f77b202c/jumpcutter.py#L116

@balsoft No its a problem with Unix systems, as they fail to take filename/ foldername with space(s) as input on the terminal. Here’s the more insight into this problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/516772/how-to-access-files-directories-with-spaces-in-the-name , Your solution will not work on the terminal, and the algorithm will fail before it even starts. Here is an example, try this: python jumpcutter.py --input_file abc/filename with space.mp4 Output: no such file or directory Hope that clears your doubt.

Does --input_file "filename with spaces" not work?
