KivyDesigner - how do I install FileBrowser on Windows?

[Ulf Benjaminsson]

The KivyDesigner installation docs reads:

To install the FileBrowser, enter a console (on Windows use kivy.bat in the kivy folder):
garden install filebrowser

Only problem is, there is no kivy.bat anywhere on the system. I've got Python 3.4, Kivy is up and running well, all KivyDesigner prerequisites are in place, but I have no idea what "garden" is and can't seem to find any information on how to manually put filebrowser where KivyDesigner / python will find it. At startup (python -m designer) it aborts after trying to load filebrowser

[WARNING           ] stderr: KeyError: 'kivy.garden.filebrowser'

 Any advice?

Figured out that garden is installed in the Python "Scripts" folder, but garden seem unable to deal with spaces in paths? Running it manually yield:

C:\>garden install filebrowser
C:\>python.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Python34-32\Scripts\garden install filebrowser
python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

1.download filebrowser from github
2.rename init.py in filebrowser to filebrowser.py 
3.copy filebrowser.py to /kivy-designer/designer/
4.edit /kivy-designer/designer/apps.py in about line 17:
from filebrowser import FileBrowser
[...]

Seems like a relevant workaround. Will report back.

Nope.
