dired-get-filename does not work properly with find-dired especially
when filenames contain whitespaces.

the following fix is not elegant, but works fine.
(imho replacing the read would be best)

replace this:
(read (concat "\"" file "\""))

with:
(setq file
      (replace-regexp-in-string
       "\\\\ " " "
       (read
        (concat
         "\"" (replace-regexp-in-string "\\ " "\\\\ " file) "\""))))
