 contain spaces.


 Is there any likelihood of this 'defect' being fixed in any imminent new
 release?

 I've just had a look around at a couple of articles about renaming the
 folder, and the risk of losing everything outweighs the potential benefit
 of using macports.

 Also as no other piece of software that I am using or have used in the
 past has crashed due to my use of a space on either my SSD or HD drive,
 I'd hope that macport gurus might be able to fix this?

 Thanks
