Description
Situation: IGB does not appear to be handling spaces in folder names for local quickloads (tested on Mac and Windows).
Task: Handle spaces in folder names for local quickloads.
Note: We also need to handle spaces in file names themselves, but we have not tested whether spaces in file names for local quickloads does or does not work currently.
When testing
IGBF-510Dr. Freese and I found that my Windows 10 machine was not loading local quickloads normally.Today I created new copies of the E. unicornis files tested in
IGBF-510,expanded the annots.xml file based on the wiki,
and added a spicies.txt file.
It was not loading any genomic data in IGB 9.1.6 but was showing data from the contents.txt and genome.txt files.
Changing the direction of the / characters,
checking that tabs were used to separate text content,
moving the files within the local quickload,
or adding/removing content from the quickload files did not fix the problem.
I moved the local quickload folder from my two-word user name file path down to the C drive and it began working normally.
I then moved it up one level to "Program Files", a folder containing a space in the name, and the local quickload stopped working.
I moved it to another folder with a path not containing any spaces and the local quickload began working again.
Without spaces anywhere in the file path, local quickloads work on Windows 10.
Tested on both IGB 9.1.6 and 9.1.8.
