load_gff_list() does not like special characters in names

[LuzanelL]

I was processing a few genome datasets, which included some spaces in the naming of files.
Now, I know unix based systems does not generally like spaces and/or special characters in files, and maybe it is dir() fault in not backslashing spaces ad others special characters, just thought to share what happenes with me.

load_gff_list():
gffs <- load_gff_list(gff_files) sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
and then it tries to find the files anyway, and errors again:
Error in { : task 1 failed - "Cannot find /tmp/Rtmp33fvXM/gffTMP50ee4cbcabd9.fasta, please correct path and/or file name"

Anyways, cheers

Thanks LazaneIL.

Yes there are issues with special character in file names. We corrected the issues in the folder names, but we can do nothing with the basenames.
