Bug Description

Please stop releasing builds and downloads that have spaces and parentheses in the archive filenames. This causes a problem for anyone using Linux or a UNIX environment to work around when creating wrappers around the sikuli-ide.sh script due to unfriendly characters in the path.

Note: Change the space to an underscore, get rid of the parentheses all together.

Regards,

John F Leach

I am referring to ALL of the releases/downloads having a space and two parentheses in the directory name after unzipping. I have worked around it in a shell script, but why not change the naming convention?
