I have another problem with ffap: it can't find a file if file name
contains spaces. I fixed this problem by the new function:
(defun my-find-file-at-point-or-region (&optional arg)
"Find filename at point or selected by region.
This function is useful, when filename contains spaces, and so can't
be fully matched by `find-file-at-point'. In this case user should
manually select region around the full filename and invoke this command.
This function also maps UNIX filenames to Window$ filenames."
(interactive "P")
(let ((filename
(if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active)
(buffer-substring-no-properties (mark) (point))
(ffap-string-at-point))))
(and (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
filename
(string-match "^/dos/\\([A-Za-z]\\)\\(.*\\)" filename)
(setq filename (concat (match-string 1 filename) ":"
(match-string 2 filename))))
(or (and filename (file-exists-p filename))
(setq filename (ffap-guesser)))
(find-file-at-point (ffap-prompter filename))))
But I think it is not the right thing yet. Ffap should be fixed
to pick up full file name with spaces without requiring the user
to select a region.
