            Bug ID: 308553
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.9.2
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
           Summary: -e (execute) option mishandles spaces
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: hessijames at gmail.com
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: NEW
         Component: general
           Product: konsole

It seems to be impossible to start konsole with a file to be executed that
contains one or more spaces.
Starting such a file via a .desktop file ("execute in a terminal window" option
checked) won't work either but it's probably the same bug.

The bug is being tracked on launchpad as well:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/konsole/+bug/948321

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
execute something like:
konsole --noclose -e /media/Serien\ 3TB/backup_worker.sh
or
konsole --noclose -e "/media/Serien 3TB/backup_worker.sh"
Actual Results:  
The following message gets displayed in the terminal where the command was
started from:
konsole(3645): "Programmdatei kann nicht gefunden werden: " "/media/Serien"
[konsole(3645): "Program file cannot be found: " "/media/Serien"]

And these messages get displayed in the newly started konsole window:
Achtung: „/media/Serien“ kann nicht gefunden werden, stattdessen wird
„/bin/bash“ gestartet. Prüfen Sie bitte die Einstellungen des Profils.
[Warning: „/media/Serien“ cannot be found, „/bin/bash“ will be started instead.
Please check your profile settings.]
3TB/backup_worker.sh: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
[3TB/backup_worker.sh: File or directory not found]
