>    Affects Versions: 3.4.0

> Previous to the File Plugin release (Feb 2014), it was possible to recursively create directories by calliing dirEntry.getDirectory using the dirEntry returned from the getDirectory call. 
> Since the Feb release (including the latest File Plugin (v 1.1.0) this will fail if directory names  have spaces in the name (but only if recursive. Eg. Can create 'Some Directory' fine in root, but not 'Some Directory/Another Directory').
> Problem can be reproduced by using the filer.js library  [https://github.com/ebidel/filer.js] and calling mkdir.  Here is another library [https://github.com/torrmal/cordova-simplefilemanagement] that does not suffer from this problem as it always returns to the root dirEntry during folder creation.
> As an aside, it would be awesome to have a more convenient file system API in cordova that directly offers support for recursive folders, particularly since it looks like the html5 file system API itself ([http://www.w3.org/TR/file-system-api/],[http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/filesystem]) appears to be dead or dying?
