Re: [tomboy-list] Feature Request: Hidden URIs/Names for links

[Shane Bishop <sbishop trinitybiblecollege edu>]

Hey all,
I get the same thing when  I drag files from nautilus.
It happens no matter what type of file it is (I tried, tar.gz, jpg, exe, 
.conf, .doc)
I noticed something else when the filename has spaces in it. the second 
link (in the form of /home/user/My file here)
ends up only linked till 'My'. anything after the space is just plain 
text, while the one that says file://home/user/My file here
is just fine.
