Let's attempt to open a file C:\file.jpg using the program C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe.

open::with("C:\\file.jpg", "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe").unwrap();

This results in an error as Windows says it cannot find C:\Program. This seems to be caused by the same issue that was addressed for file paths in #53.

open-rs/src/windows.rs

Lines 25 to 26 in a33caba

.raw_arg(app.into())
.raw_arg(wrap_in_quotes(path))

A simple fix would be to call the same wrap_into_quotes on app. I just tested this fix in a fork and it works; let me know if you'd like me to open a PR.

This issue was originally discovered here: typst/typst#2724
