Description
When using the GPS Tools plugin to download a gpx file from a GPS instrument, the plugin fails when there are spaces in the Output File path or file name.
On the other hand, gpsbabel does work with spaces in the path when the output file path is quoted. For example running:
"C:\\Program Files\\Quantum GIS\\bin\\gpsbabel.exe" -w -i garmin -f USB: -o gpx -F "C:\\Documents and Settings\\micha\\My Documents\\waypoints.gpx"
works properly.
However entering the same above output file (with or without quotes) in GPS Tools fails with the error "The layer is not a valid layer..."

I tested today on WinXP using the OSGeo4W installer (qgis-dev R13701) and the GPS tool plugin works correctly with spaces in the file path (and also in the file name itself).
