Unable to create file system storage using a path with spaces

[mig42]

Current behavior

I get an error message TypeError: Cannot read property '/' of undefined when I try to add a File System storage with a path that contains spaces. There are no error messages in the console. I'm using the company OneDrive, so I can't rename the directory.

This doesn't happen in old Boostnote 0.16.1.

Expected behavior

I can add a file system storage using a path that contains spaces.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the "Create new storage" view
2. Select "File system"
3. Enter any value in "Name"
4. Choose a path that contains spaces using "Select Folder"
5. Click "Create Storage"

Environment

Desktop/Web

• Boost Note.next version: 0.9.0
• OS version and name: macOS Catalina 10.5.7, Windows 10 version 2004, OS build 19041.388

I found a temporary workaround in Windows 10.
Just create a symbolic link to your path without spaces.
Es. mklink /J C:\localStorage "C:\localstorage with space"

Thanks @ilfuriano ! However, that doesn't work in macOS 😢 if I use a symlink, Boost Note will resolve the actual path and use it instead...
