I just tested using the current Git master and got as view command
suggestion
okular --unique Test\ mit\ Leerzeichen.pdf#src:5"/home/horn/tmp/Test mit
Leerzeichen.tex"
so the output filename "Test mit Leerzeichen.pdf" has been properly
quoted for my shell to interpret. Essentially, we are basically just
using the standard Emacs function `shell-quote-argument' which should
add the right quoting for at least the common shells.
Which operating system and shell are you using? And what does the
following evaluate to?
(shell-quote-argument "Test with spaces.tex") <-- C-x C-e here!
Bye,
Tassilo
