Spaces in category names(back to index)I have a quick question. It seems like spaces in category names (which corresponds to spaces in directory names for ex. photos/San Francisco/) arent supported or handled correctly. is that right? for example, when fb3 gets pointed towards such a category i get an error that no files are found. am i doing something wrong? just out of curiousity, where is this handled in fb3 (ie which file)? it sounds like a minor fix and i wouldnt mind looking into it, is this handled in fb.php?
anyway thanks for the great software, Paul

The directories should all be one word names (i.e. "/photos/bunnies/"), while the single name line in the 'category.txt' file that sits in each of those directories can have spaces (i.e. "My Fuffy Bunnies").

Aha, I see. But right now Im simply u/ling dir's w/o using a category.txt file. that way I can sort of automate the process w/o having to worry about the category.txt file. maybe it would be better if i used it but if folderblog supported spaces in dir names it might be a little simpler. thanks for the tip

Paul, are you using the latest version? Beta 06 should support spaces in category names (it was broken for a version or two, but shoudl be back).

(For example: the category "one image" in the preview blog.)

so just to be clear, im talking about spaces within directory names for ex. /photos/Chicago Il/. is that what your talking about?
so maybe i should post this in its own thread, but since im running beta 5, how should i go about upgrading? i assume i just need to replace all of the fles and keep my photos in place, then just edit the fb_vars.php file no?
thanks again

Ok just upgraded to b6 and it looks like it works now, i.e. spaces within directory names, great!
