  Hi,
  
  When an image is uploaded that contains a space or spaces in the name it is not possible to delete it. This is also the case for directories that are created.
  
  I think this is because the space, in the path argument in the controller, is encoded as %20 when send to the controller.
  
  Is there a workaround for this. Surely I won't be the fist to come across this behaviour.
  
  Thanks in advance for any feedback.
  
  Kind regards,
  Yorrick vd Voort

  Hello Yorrick vd Voort,
  
  I reproduced the problem you wrote about and we will investigate what exactly is causing this behavior. A workaround for now is to set custom action methods which to either delete the files and folders or decode the path and call the EditorFileBrowserController methods. For example:
  

  .FileBrowser(t => t

      .DeleteFile("DeleteEncodedFile", "ImageBrowser")

      .DeleteDirectory("DeleteEncodedDirectory", "ImageBrowser")

      .Browse("Browse", "ImageBrowser")

      .Thumbnail("Thumbnail", "ImageBrowser")

      .Upload("Upload", "ImageBrowser")

      .CreateDirectory("CreateDirectory", "ImageBrowser"))

  public ActionResult DeleteEncodedFile(string path)

  {

      var decodedPath = Server.UrlDecode(path);

      return DeleteFile(decodedPath);

  }

   

  public ActionResult DeleteEncodedDirectory(string path)

  {

      var decodedPath = Server.UrlDecode(path);

      return DeleteDirectory(decodedPath);

  }

  
  Kind regards,
  Daniel

  Hi,
  
  Thanks for the reply and the solution. This helped a lot.
  BTW the issue with the space is also there when you try to open a folder with a space in the name.
  
  I used your suggestion and created a new method and returned the Browse Jsonresult like below:
  
  

   

   

   

  public  JsonResult BrowseEncoded(string path)

  {

      var decodedPath = Server.UrlDecode(path);

      return Browse(decodedPath);

  }

  Regards,
  Yorrick
