I think that is correct. I have escaped the filenames in the browser
output with backslashes, but I did not think about escaping filenames
for tkinter calling TCl with a pathname with spaces in it for the
icons directory. You should be okay if Idle's on a path without spaces
....

This script was not meant as a final solution but just as a temporary
tool until someone comes up with a real solution, I guess I should
have mentioned that. I think a tool like this should be written using
anygui. 

I have some other options below but I am not sure if they wil work.

line 85-86 in TreeWidget :
      fullname = os.path.join(ICONDIR, file + ext)
        image = PhotoImage(master=self.canvas, file=fullname)
  
So maybe this works:

Change line 29 in TreeWidget.py:
    _icondir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
ICONDIR).replace(' ','\ ')

or else changing line 85 may work:
      fullname = os.path.join(ICONDIR, file + ext).replace(' ','\ ')

(watch out for the line wraps)

Please let me know if one of these succeeds. Thanks for your feedback!

Anton.
