Re: Double clicking in Windows

[Mats Bengtsson]

At least it gives more clear information on what's up:

Processing C\Documents ...

The actual problem seems to be that the lilypond-2.2.0-1 package
on the cygwin mirrors contains two files:
/usr/bin/lily-wins.py
and
/usr/bin/lily-wins

whereof the first one corresponds to the lily-wins.py file that
Han-Wen was hacking whereas the latter contains

#!/bin/sh
python /bin/lily-wins.py $1

which effectively ruins all paths with spaces in them

By adding a couple of double quotes, things work much better:

#!/bin/sh
python /bin/lily-wins.py "$1"

I don't really understand why we have the shell script and
not only the Python script.
