How can I open a specific urd-file with Launchy?

How do I have to specify the path in launchy.xml to direct launchy to save a webpage in a specific urd-file?

Inserting the following into launchy.xml works fine:
<command>%ProgramFiles%\UltraRecall\UltraRecall.ex e</command>
<arguments>"C:\web.urd" /importdup</arguments>

But if I specify a different path with empty spaces in the pathname like "C:\Eigene Dateien\Texte und Schaubilder\web.urd" it doesn't work. Neither does the following path: "C:\Eigene%20Dateien\Texte%20und%20Schaubilder\web .urd", which yields the error messge:

Error opening database "C:\Eigene%20Dateien\Texte%20und%20Schaubilder\web .urd": File doesn't exist.

Can anybody tell me please what the correct pathname is?

What exactly happens when using the first method (actual spaces)? Which version of UR, Firefox, Launchy, and Windows are you running?

I am using Windows XP SP 1, Firefox 2.0.0.1, Launchy 4.2.0 and UR 2.0e.

- The following lines in Launchy.xml result in the error message: "Error opening database: 'C:\Eigene': File doesn't exist".

<application>
<label>Ultra Recall (web)</label>
<type>1</type>
<command>%ProgramFiles%\UltraRecall\UltraRecall.ex e</command>
<arguments>"C:\Eigene Dateien\Texte und Schaubilder\web.urd" /importdup</arguments>
</application>

- The following lines in Launchy.xml result in the error message: "Error opening database: C:\Eigene%20Dateien\Texte%20und%20Schaubilder\web. urd": File doesn't exist"

<application>
<label>Ultra Recall (web)</label>
<type>1</type>
<command>%ProgramFiles%\UltraRecall\UltraRecall.ex e</command>
<arguments>"C:\Eigene%20Dateien\Texte%20und%20Scha ubilder\web.urd" /importdup</arguments>
</application>

It seems that Launchy doesn't handle arguments containing spaces very well. You'll have to either:

1) Use the short version (8.3) of the .urd file in the arguments field (use dir /x at a Command Prompt to see short filenames)

or

2) Create a batch file that specifies the filename and call that from Launchy. For instance

[c:\import.bat]
start ultrarecall "c:\temp\my data.urd" %1 %2 %3

[launchy.xml extract]
<command>c:\import.bat</command>
<arguments>/importdup</arguments>
