Public bug reported:

Hi,

When trying to launch music-app from music home scope on a music file, the resulting cmdline has superfluous space:
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene /usr/share/music-app/music-app.qml --file= file:///home/phablet/Music/xyz.flac --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/music-app.desktop

that is, --file=%u became two args, --file= and the URL

I think this is in helpers.c/desktop_exec_parse() because it splits the
string on % but joins it on " " instead of just joining the bits.

Cheers,
