Something wrong with cygstart

Greetings, All! I'm using a wrapper script to comfortably start VS Code from file manager. The last line of it is cygstart --hide -- "/proc/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code.cmd" "$(cygpath -alw "$_arg")" It works well up to the point where there are no spaces in the $_arg. But on the first seen space it break the arguments list into pieces. I have to double-quote the argument to maintain the consistency, like cygstart --hide -- "/proc/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code.cmd" "\"$(cygpath -alw "$_arg")\"" but that's a questionable solution at best. I'm unable to track the origin of such behavior, so I need an advice. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, December 14, 2025 12:07:31 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
