We currently use %U as argument to the Exec entry to indicate that gmplayer handles URLs. However, gmplayer fails to open files with spaces in the filename when launched from a file manager in this way. Changing %U to %F works around this issue successfully while still working with URLs. While this may not be a completely satisfactory solution, it is already deployed in distributions and a better solution is unlikely to appear. patch by Andrew Strong, andrew.david.45 gmail com
