This message is shown when using +O"c:\image files\test.png" in the P.-R.
for W. (XP) command line field. Just to check other ways I put quotes around
only the 'image files' part too with same result.


Possible Command Line Error:  File name or path parameter expected for
switch 'o', found 'c:\image'.
Command Line Error: Problem with command line or INI file.


Thorsten explains this as something which POV-Ray was not designed to be
capable of, and I'm posting this here per his request at povray.general.

In the Windows Help, section 5.2.2.3.2 Output File Name it does not warn
against the use of spaces in paths and file names. Could be a very good idea
to appended a note there saying as much. Possibly also at section 1.10.7.1.1
Edit Settings/Render and/or 1.7.1.3 Toolbar Command Line.

Another place which could benefit from a note is 5.1.1 Command Line
Switches. And when I was reading that part over I noticed it still claims
only 10 library paths are possible, not 20. I don't remember that needing to
be different from the INI limit.

Possibly some things for ingo to look into for making a change. This is like
deja vu to me because I thought all this was covered long ago. Could be I'm
not recalling the final position taken on these two things.
