Bug Description
Binary package hint: vlc
To reproduce:
Create a video/audio file with the space in the name (let's say the filename is "file 1.ogv") open it by double clicking on the icon (assuming VLC is associated to open ogv files). Notice that on the bottom of the window the name will be displayed as "file%201.ogv". Now drag and drop the exact same file into the exact same VLC window, now the "%20" gets interpreted as a space.
Expected behaviour:
VLC should have a standard way of displaying the filenames. Personally i think that having space is better than %20, but either is worse than something which is undetermined.
