</div></div>It's more complicate, it depends on:<br>
* Primitive support:<br>
* pdfTeX: \pdfximage<br>
file name argument as general text (curly braces).<br>
* XeTeX: \XeTeXpicfile, \XeTeXpdffile<br>
file name argument in quotes, at least it is known that<br>
quotes can be used because of XeTeX.<br>
That solves the problem for spaces, but how quotes<br>
can be used inside file names?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I've tried quoting with XeTeX (Mik2.9), but no go. I've tried both "s around the entire file spec., and replacing the " " with "\ ". Neither of those approaches work. Is there some other method of quoting?</div>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
* File test for existence<br>
It is needed by graphics package, e.g. for finding a file<br>
a supported extension.<br>
* pdfTeX: several primitves can be used, pdftex.def uses<br>
\pdffilesize with file name argument as general text.<br>
And package `grffile' cures the problem for package graphics.<br>
* XeTeX: \openin with file name in quotes.<br>
Of course, graphics.sty does not know about quotes.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>From my (very limited) understanding, redefining the calls to \openin only works on Windows, not Mac or Linux systems. At least, I've read that in some discussions.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
* Driver part:<br>
* pdfTeX: PDF driver is part of pdfTeX, thus it's no issue here.<br>
* XeTeX: Seems to be supported, but I don't know a specification<br>
of xdv format.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A spec. for xdv would be very useful indeed!</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
Thus I see, I will update package `grffile' to support<br>
spaces with XeTeX.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That would be fantastic!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you again, Heiko.</div><div><br></div><div>-pd</div><div><br></div></div>
