after doing a query in a Konsole window, Ctrl-clicking a file name that has a space in it in the results will give a "does not exist" error.

opening filenames that don't have spaces in them works as expected.

    I am not familiar with Konsole. Ctrl-left-click does not seem to do anything in my default setup (test VM). Please explain exactly what you are doing, maybe point me to a bit of doc where it is explained.

      Konsole is the KDE terminal emulator. When i make a query from Konsole, the URLs in the results are hyperlinks that are Ctrl-clickable, at least on my machine. However, Konsole treats a space in the URL as a separator, which means that Ctrl-clicking on a file URL with a space in it will try to open the file with a truncated filename.

    Ok, I see now, I was thinking of file names, not URLs. You can force URL encoding with option -e, e.g.:

    recoll -t -e -q some query

    This seems to work fine for me.
