I am trying to include the exact path name in \graphicspath where my images are located. Unfortunately some of the directories have spaces in them, but I am bypassing this with the "~1" trick in the path name, ex., /my_pro~1. I have read multiple help questions regarding this matter but cannot figure it out.  Please help. I am fit to be tied here.

I want to import graphics into my main input file using the macro \includegraphics. It does not work if the filename contains spaces.   also discusses this subject, but there is no solution there.  My compilation routine is latex->dvips->ps2pdf (because of PSTricks).

When using the terminal in a deep folder structure sometimes the prompt can take up most of the line.  Is there any way in which I can trim the working directory?  I know I can do  PS1="\W &gt;"   to only print the current directory and not the full path, but is there a way to have something like:  /home/smauel/de...ther/folder &gt;

What is the difference between absolute / canonical / relative paths?  I guess that absolute starts with a /. Can it contain /../?  Is a canonical path different from an absolute path in that it can't contain /../?  Is foo a relative path?  Googling posix canonical path didn't turn up much... What are the POSIX references for these terms?

The windows command line prompt display the full path of the currently directory, which will be too long when I am deep into a directory, like:  V:\Runtimes\ProjectName\src\ToolsTest\JavaCrashExample\JavaCrash\main\ToolsTest\JavaCrashExample\JavaCrash&gt;   Is their any way to customized this, so that I can just display the current directory's name?  Thanks.

I am trying to install something and among the steps there was this one:  "Place it on your $PATH"  What does this mean? What is that?  I have searched both this site and on Google but everyone just takes it for granted!

I am trying to include a command in a  file to a bibliography file that I am storing centrally.  However, when including the filepath, like  /Foldername with whitespace/ANOTHER folder name with whitespace/nowsinfldrname/bibo.bib   my Unix-based typesetting system complains. Is there a way to rectify that other than renaming my folders?

I'm trying to delete a folder in Windows 7 and get a perplexing error message: "Could not find this item:  This is no longer located in G:\Graphics.  Verify the item's location and try again.  I can see the folder -- I can find it.  I just can't delete it.    I also get a second error message (sometimes) when I click on the folder: G:\Graphics 2009-11-17 refers to a location that is unavailable...this information might have been moved to a different location.    I'm using Windows 7; this folder is on an external hard drive.  I've emptied the folder (there were items in it); I've scanned that external hard drive for errors.  Trying to rename the folder yields the same enigmatic error message.    Is there a way to delete this folder?

For example, I have files named   A_1.txt A_t_1.txt A_ts_1.txt A_tsa_1.txt   in a directory ~/admin/packages/.  I am building a for loop to by globbing to A_1.txt   for f in ~/admin/packages/*_1.txt   It's obvious that this can potentially glob to any one of these files.  Specifically I would like to use an "exception" command (if it exists) to say glob to any file as long as it does not have a t, s, a before _1.txt.  EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have the path stored as a variable.  PROJECT="~/admin/packages/*_1.txt"  for f in ${PROJECT}...

I know that includegraphics can be used in Latex to include images into the document, but how can I specify a path for that file?  \includegraphics[]{picture-name}   Instead of asdd.jpg I want to specify C:\Documents and Settings\Nina\asdd.jpg, because that's where the image is.

I had a look at the .desktop files on my 12.04 Ubuntu system, and many of them do not have a full path specification for their icon file.  It is rather something like:  Icon=anjuta   or  Icon=vlc   or   Icon=application-x-clementine   Is there a common path where icons can be stored so that this can work ? If not, how does this work ? If I try to do the same thing with my own icons I have to specify the full path.  e.g.  Icon=/usr/local/share/my-icon.png   works fine, but  Icon=my-icon.png   will fail.  Any kind of help is welcome!

I know what this message means in general ("do not add path names in package names"), and my question is not a duplicate of , where the two names differ (by the path name). In my case the package names are really identical (without path name in both cases)!  I'm working on MiKTeX 2.9, with latest updates (I refreshed FNDB). I get this with the latest moderncv package (version 2.0), MWE:  \documentclass{moderncv} \moderncvtheme{classic} \name{Foo}{Bar} \begin{document} \end{document}   where I get  You have requested package `moderncvheadi', but the package provides `moderncvheadi'. You have requested package `moderncvbodyi', but the package provides `moderncvbodyi'.   What does trigger this warning in this case and how can I solve it? Is it a bug in moderncv? The official source on  looks fine to me.

How can I convert a relative path to an absolute path in C on Unix? Is there a convenient system function for this?  On Windows there is a GetFullPathName function that does the job, but I didn't find something similar on Unix...
