Hi,

The Dutch variant of GNOME comes with a directory called "Video's". Note
the quote. If that directory is used as download directory in
youtubedl-qui, nothing (seems to) happens when the Download button is
pressed, not even an error message. When I start youtubedl-gui from the
command line, I see it passes a command to yt-dlp and there the quote is
not escaped. I assume that's the underlying problem.
