Is requiring to quote every path passed to the Path-List Function not unneeded?

[Ralf_Reddings]

Every path passed to the function

Path-List

needs to be quoted:

Code: Select all

path-list:"c:\temp\red"|"c:\temp\blue" 
path-list:<"c:\temp\red"|"c:\temp\blue">
path-list:"c:\temp\red"

The above will work, the following will not:

Code: Select all

path-list:c:\temp\red|c:\temp\blue
path-list:<c:\temp\red|c:\temp\blue>
path-list:c:\temp\red

I dont see why even path wrapped in "<", ">" and separated by "|", like so need to also be quoted as well:

Code: Select all

path-list:<c:\temp\red|c:\temp\blue>

Maybe there is a technical reason, if not I would appreciate if we can do have an option not to. I am on the latest beta version.

path-list: uses a semi-colon delimited list of paths instead of | :

Code: Select all

path-list:"c:\temp\red";"c:\temp\blue"

Quoting a path is optional when it does not contain a space:

Code: Select all

path-list:"c:\program files";c:\windows

I could have sworn I was quoting the paths when I was trying this yesterday, maybe not.

Event then, thanks for the help. I was not aware of double quotes being optional in the cases of paths with no spaces.
