 Priority:  normal                |  Milestone:
Component:  Default               |    Version:  7.0.0
 Keywords:  path quoting, m.cogo  |        CPU:  OSX/Intel
 Platform:  MacOSX                |
----------------------------------+-------------------------
 Occurs here under Mac OSX 10.12.6 when using GRASS 7 as bundled into QGIS
 2.18.15-3.

 m.cogo, and most likely others, fail under OS X if the output path
 contains spaces.  Input path seems unaffected.

 So trying to send output into ~/my files/test_data/ results in an error
 message that  files/test_data  is not legit.

 OS X allows spaces (and other non-alphanumeric chars) within directory
 (folder) or file names.

 Consequently in OSX paths need to be "quoted" for Unix compatibility; I
 suspect that is what is missing.
