[TxMt] Leopard borks Multimarkdown? -> an answer

[John Laudun]

I'm not going to call this solved, but I at least have a working  
solution -- and analysis (follows). Here's my weak (very weak) unix-fu  
understanding of the problem. The Preview function of the MMD bundle  
has three simple lines:
 > cd "${TM_MULTIMARKDOWN_PATH:-~/Library/Application Support/ 
MultiMarkdown}"
 > cd bin
 > ./multimarkdown2XHTML.pl

After upgrading to Leopard, I was getting the following error report:

 > /bin/bash: line 2: cd: ~/Library/Application Support/MultiMarkdown:  
No such file or directory
 > /bin/bash: line 3: cd: bin: No such file or directory
 > /bin/bash: line 4: ./multimarkdown2XHTML.pl: No such file or  
directory

Because my unix-fu is so very, very (very) weak, it took me the  
longest time to realize that the Bash shell wasn't seeing the  
directory. I tested it by running

 > cd "~/Library/Application Support/MultiMarkdown"

No such file or directory

I tried changing it to the more usual:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/MultiMarkdown

Presto! It worked. I changed the first line in the MMD Preview to the  
above and Preview now works like it used to.

Now you can all stop chuckling at how slow I am, but my question is:  
has anyone else encountered this problem? Surely I'm not the only MMD  
adherent who has upgraded to Leopard? (I'm hoping the problem wasn't  
me being goofy, but it could be.)

Any corrections to my analysis are welcome and will be regarded as  
contributing to my education.

Please, no rulers on the knuckles. It's the holidays and all.
