When everything is a string, some symbols must by necessity be reserved to indicate things that are part of the control string and not part of the name string. Nothing can be done about this unless we return to writing raw binary without the help of strings (bring back punchcards)

Spaces should not be allowed in folder and filenames.

You stepped into the wrong neighborhood, unixtard.

>>107569335
Not a problem on linux except if you want to put "/" in a filename. Otherwise you can do anything you want.
>>
>>107569741
GNOME actually prevents you from writing "NIGGERJEWKIKE" in the filename
>>
>>107569335
Just use '
Although, don't because this corrupts shit and is annoying with scripts.

I wouldn't unless you have the perfect shell and programming language that can just work around them.
Really, just treat filenames like regex.

You have no idea how operating systems work, in this case, Windows.

The command line and its consequences have been a disaster for modern computing

>nooo I must pass all the arguments to the program on one line only
>all the arguments are separated by spaces
>no I can't use multiline commands which would allow for arguments to be \n-terminated, everything has to work like a 1970s teletypewriter
>-but what if the arguments contain spaces

Most windows users aren't programmers anon, it's easier to tell normies they can't use quotation marks than to explain escape sequences
>>
>>107570280
explorer.exe could just use escapes under the hood, so you can use all characters
windows is retarded

>>107570253
Holy crap Liquid Ass looks so much worse than the old style.

>>107569548
Escape sequences in filenames is a security risk.
>>
>>107570300
Oh yeah, finder and other system windows are fucking hideous now. You can't even call it liquid glass, as there's less transparency than before.
It's just a Gnome knockoff.
