CS3 folders with spaces in the name

[John_Kordas]

I'm having a slight issue with files that are in folders that have spaces in the folder name.

For example the files is in the following location: /c/Hold/Test Image Folder/mondeo n rtu 41%.psd

If I run the script it creates a folder called ScriptFolder in the location on the file and does a saveAs psd file into that folder but I get an error.

General Photoshop error occured. This fucntionality may not ....ld\....\mondeo n 41%" because the file could not be found.

If I change the folder "Test Image Folder" to "Test_Image_Folder" which is where the file is the script works.

Here is the script any suggestions on how I can get around this?

var myPsDoc = app.activeDocument;
var justname = myPsDoc.name.split (".")[0]
var myNewFolder = new Folder(myPsDoc.path+"/ScriptFolder/");
if (myNewFolder.exists){
}else{
    myNewFolder.create();
    }
newFile = new File(myNewFolder+"/"+justname )
photoshopSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions()
photoshopSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false
myPsDoc.saveAs(newFile, PhotoshopSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE)

Using decodeURI should take care of the problem with spaces in the path.

var myNewFolder = new Folder( decodeURI(myPsDoc.path) +"/ScriptFolder/");

Thanks Michael but I'm still getting the same error on decodeURI(myPsDoc.path).

Did a little test using:

changed var myNewFolder = new Folder(decodeURI(myPsDoc.path)+"/ScriptFolder/");

to var myNewFolder = new Folder("/c/Hold/Resize test folder/ScriptFolder");

still got the error.

changed newFile = new File(myNewFolder+"/"+justname)

to newFile = new File("/c/Hold/Resize test folder/ScriptFolder"+"/"+justname)

and the script worked.

so then I tried newFile = new File(decodeURI(myNewFolder)+"/"+justname)

Thanks for you help much appreciated.

Cheers John.
