Details:

Create some figure


x=rand(20,1);
hist(x)


Click to save figure

Figure 1 => File => Save As => "D:\test.png"

... gives an error:

>> Der Befehl "C:\Program" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht
gefunden werden.

Probably, Octave wants to access some binary which is located in "C:\Program
Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)", but the path contains some space
characters. I guess that it would work on a standard installation, where
"C:\Octave" is the installation folder. Some insight:

saveas.m, 105
print.m, 422
__fltk_print__.m, 125
__ghostscript__.m, 167

cmd = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Octave\Octave-3.8.2\bin\gs.exe" -dQUIET
-dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAF
ER -sDEVICE=png16m -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -r150x150 -dEPSCrop
-sOutputFile="
C:/Program Files
(x86)/Octave/Octave-3.8.2/share/octave/3.8.2/m/plot/util\test.png" -

__fltk_print__.m, 166

Der Befehl "C:\Program" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Happened on Windows 7 (64bit), MXE Octave 3.8.2-3 from
