I have vanilla implementations of s2l and l2s, if needed: https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches

File paths with spaces work fine as long as you merge them into a single symbol. I simply use l2s for this.

First of all thank you, Winfried and Tim!

I ended up picking Tim's version with [list fromsymbol], [list split] and [list tosymbol] because it needs less objects. Works perfectly!

However, I had to add a [iemlib/mergefilename _] to eliminate blank spaces in some names. In order to change the names to work with [mergefilename] and [ list fromsymbol] I had to convert a few times with [s2l] and [l2s]. The underscores are converted to spaces again right before going to the LCD display.
