"open terminal here" doesn't escape pipe symbol [Fixed 2.4 b274]

[cvpeck]

Hi,

Using the "open terminal here" shortcut from the Alfred file options menu fails if the filename has pipe symbols in it. More worrying is that the filename parts then get executed as commands. (Alfred 2.3 264)

 

cd /Users/me/Movies/Photoshop\ |\ Photoshop\ For\ Printing\ |\ Richard\ Riley\ |\ Kelby\ Media\ Group\ |\ 2010/

MacBook-Pro:~ me$ cd /Users/me/Movies/Photoshop\ |\ Photoshop\ For\ Printing\ |\ Richard\ Riley\ |\ Kelby\ Media\ Group\ |\ 2010/

-bash:  2010/: No such file or directory

-bash: cd: /Users/me/Movies/Photoshop : No such file or directory

-bash:  Kelby Media Group : command not found

-bash:  Photoshop For Printing : command not found

-bash:  Richard Riley : command not found

Well spotted, I'll get this sorted for 2.4, thanks!

This should now be fixed in Alfred 2.4 b274 available as a beta build: http://blog.alfredapp.com/2014/07/25/alfred-v2-4-yosemite-fixes-and-many-improvements/
