Doesn't look like it.  There have been no new releases of Browse for
Sugar 0.82.  I've tested it again and it still doesn't work.

(On Sugar 0.84 file names with spaces work fine, but the download goes
to the journal and is not displayed by the browser ... more steps are
needed to get to the content.)

for x in *.pdf; do y=$(echo "$x"|tr ' ' '-'); mv -i "$x" "$y"; done

(Unfortunately this does not fix any HTML that might refer to the
files, and only works on one directory at a time.)
