 Avdump2 doesn’t reset the console properly when you abort it or when it runs into a Mono-specific error. You can restore the cursor with <tt>setterm -cursor on</tt> and a simple <tt>echo</tt> if you write a wrapper for that. See examples below.
-'''I can’t dump files that have spaces in their name, even if I put them in quotation marks.'''
+== Wrapper Script ==
+To make using Avdump2 more comfortable, you can use or modify this wrapper script to handle the workarounds. Save it as <tt>/usr/local/bin/avdump2cl</tt>, for example. This example assumes that you extracted Avdump2 to <tt>/usr/local/lib/avdump2</tt>.
-This has been observed with Mono 2.4 but not with Mono 2.8. If it applies to you, you can add additional quotation marks to the parameters because Avdump2 can do its own quotation handling: <tt>Avdump2CL.exe -0 "\"file with spaces.mkv\""</tt> As you can’t use standard shell expansions like <tt>*.mkv</tt> with that, you’d better use the appropriate wrapper script from below.

 The output routine used to draw the Avdump2 progress bars is not very compatible with the <tt>curses</tt>-based output used by Mono. Enlarging the terminal window usually results in writing over previous lines and shrinking the terminal window usually results in crashes because Avdump2 tries to write to areas that don’t exist anymore.
-Solutions: Don’t resize the terminal window while Avdump2 is running or use the <tt>-w</tt> option to disable the progress bars.
