OK option greyed out when adding a shared folder whose shared name contains a space. => Fixed in SVN

[Adam Gregoire]

I have verified that this happens on 2.0.2 on linux and windows host. 1.6.6 behaves as expected.

I did a bit more research and tracked this down to line 139 of src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/src/VBoxVMSettingsSFDetails.cpp in the function VBoxVMSettingsSFDetails::validate(), which contains the following:

mButtonBox->button (QDialogButtonBox::Ok)->setEnabled (!mPsPath->path().isEmpty() &&

!mLeName->text().trimmed().isEmpty() && !mLeName->text().contains(" ") && !mUsedNames.contains (pair));

Is there any reason for the addition of this logic to the new Qt4 UI?

Confirm on 2.0.4 as well, XP SP3 host, Kubuntu 8.10 guest. Took half an hour to figure it out as I was trying to mount "My Documents" which (by default) uses that name...

It's still present under 2.1.4 with an XP SP2 host and openSUSE 11.1 guest. Finally figured out the shared path could have a space in the name but the shared folder name had to have the space removed for it to be allowed.

This bug will be fixed in the next major release.

Should be fixed in 4.0.
