How to link to file?

Searching around the forum, I found that I can link to files eg file:///c:/hello.txt.
But how do I link to a file that has a space in the file name?
Eg how to link to "C:\hello everyone.txt"

Thanks in advance for any answer. :D

Replace spaces with %20, for example: file:///C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start%20Menu\Programs

Hi wtvcash, thanks for the question!

You need to replace all spaces in the path with %20, like this:

file:///C:\hello%20everyone.txt

In version 2.1 final CintaNotes will have the "Create Link to File" context menu command, and will do it automatically for you.

In M$ Word <file://c:\hello everyone.txt> works ok.
Should this also work in CN?

:lol: So simple solution. Why didn't I think of that?
Thanks Thomas and Alex for the solution.

"Create link to file" will be added to later version. Great news.
So many new features has been added to CintaNotes. No regret buying the Pro version.

In 2.1 you'll be relieved of having to replace spaces with %20 by hand, so I
doubt there's a real need of introducing special handling of links inside of angle brackets.
But you're always welcome to prove me wrong via roadmap votes :)
