Path to image may not contain whitespace

[jfrankenau]

Trying to render an image with whitespace in its path does not work for obvious reasons.

Is there a workaround for this? Quoting the path, or escaping the whitespace doesn't work.

It depends on how you are passing it to conky.

If it is a script - you can have a sub folder in /tmp - copy the image there and pass that path/image to conky.

If you have lua rendering the image it works fine with spaces as well

Since there are very reasonable workarounds, I am closing this issue.
