Description

Hi !

I have a team folder with a path that contains spaces and an accent (é).

The path looks like this: keybase://team/MYTEAM/sub1/sub2/a%20b%20c%20Valid%C3%A9/01Chargemen.file (which is "team/MYTEAM/sub1/sub2/a b c Validé/01Chargement.file" unescaped).

I can access the files in this folder via the File Browser in the Keybase app, but in finder the files are "listable" but cannot be opened. There are no obvious errors that I can see.

Sorry for this lackluster bug report, let me know if I can test out things to help you fix the issue.

Cheers !

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Finder on macOS 10.15.4 with the provided keybase:// path, comparing it with the Keybase File Browser behavior. Trace the Finder integration and path handling for spaces and the accented character, then verify that files in the affected folder can be opened successfully.
