[XeTeX] includegraphics and filenames with spaces

[Álex Bueno]

Andreas,

Thanks very much for your reply. Sorry I didn't notice your emails  
until now; I posted this later to the mactex list where conversation  
ensued and wasn't looking here.

I changed \IfFileExists{\filename at area\filename at base#1}% in  
graphics.sty to \IfFileExists{"\filename at area\filename at base#1"}%
But unfortunately I get this error:

Runaway argument?
'exif copy.tiff' \edef \Gin at ext {\Gin at sepdefault \filename at ext }\ifx  
\ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \@tempa.
<inserted text>
                 \par
<*> spaces.tex

I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me
to read past where you wanted me to stop.
I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.

! Emergency stop.
<*> spaces.tex

The pdf prints in huge letters
copy".tiff "

I'm guessing that I've quoted out the wrong thing, but other  
arrangements within the IfFileExists I tried don't work either.

Best,
Alex
