I have a PDF filename named "RE: something.pdf" This fails: evince "RE: someting.pdf" with the error messages on stdout: ** (evince:397922): WARNING **: 11:14:02.077: The specified location is not supported ** (evince:397922): WARNING **: 11:14:02.080: set_filenames: The specified location is not supported The message in the evince window is more interesting: Unable to open document “file:///tmp/evince-397922/document.SR35V0- something”. The specified location is not supported. Clearly evince is trying to treat the prefix "RE:" as something magic. Just what, I don't know. But it sure isn't in the evince man page. This command works fine: evince ./"RE: someting.pdf"
