"Launch Render" button doesn't sanitize spaces in file paths (Linux compatibility issue) about blender-flip-fluids HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the report!

I was able to reproduce this issue using Ubuntu 16.04.1. It appears that this issue may be specific to Linux operating systems. Paths with spaces seem to be working correctly on Windows and MacOS after brief testing.

We'll look further into this issue at a later time and will add any updates to this thread. We will likely be releasing a new addon version (FLIP Fluids 1.6.3) in about two weeks containing small fixes, so a fix should be available soon.

Until this is fixed, the workaround will be to use the Copy Command operator to manually paste the command into the terminal.

This issue has been fixed and will be available in FLIP Fluids 1.6.3, to be released in about two weeks.

The issue was caused by a change between FLIP Fluids version 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 where the default terminal to launch was switched from Xterm to Bash. Bash required a small change in how the command was formulated in order to handle spaces in the filepath.
