but really your life will be much easier when you rename your files so that they do not have spaces in the filenames.

I respectfully disagree. Pd is not a very good "swiss army knife" if there isn't an easy way to handle spaces in filenames!

Luckily there is [l2s], etc and I've been using it to work with files and dirs with spaces for some time now.

I hope you don't suggest this as the solution to new pd users, I'm sure it doesn't give a very good impression ...

I made a quick tutorial and I want to add a section to the pd floss manual. I created an account, but how do I add a page?

I was thinking a page called "Dealing with filenames" etc would work under the Dataflow section. I can also put info about relative versus absolute paths.
