RE: [cdt-dev] Behavior of ${value} in tool options

["dmsubs" <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leo,

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately backslashes are stripped from
${value}. This means "c:\top level\filename" becomes "c:top levelfilename".
Which is not what I want!

Chris has suggested that I enclose the string in quotes manually. This is a
workaround, but its not at all nice - having browsed to a file, the user
then needs to add the quotes - yuk!

Is this worthy of a bugzilla enhancement request?
