[Framers] crash saving to XML - resolved, sort of

[Fred Ridder]

In past years, I've seen problems when any directories (folders) in the path contain one or more spaces. As a result I have *always* used either camelCase or underscores as separators in multi-word folder names just to avoid the whole issue. Windows itself doesn't care, but some applications, particularly ones with UNIX somewhere in their history, *do* care.

Just a guess based on having been bitten by odd bugs over the years with
various applications on various platforms:

P,erhaps the shorter pathname involved in saving to Desktop eliminates
either particular characters, or avoids problems caused by longer
pathnames, or a combination of both.
