Can't answer your second question. I'll leave that one for
'dinkypumpkin', but for your first one add the "fatfilename" option to
prevent the filename being truncated at the first space.
I don't know whether there are any occasions when using fatfilename
*doesn't* truncate a filename with spaces, but it might be an idea to
automatically add the option when 'whitespace' is selected if it doesn't
cause other issues?
