Public bug reported: When the containing directory name contains an apostrophe, launching a file in either the default or a specific viewer fails.
For example, I have photos in a directory whose full path is "/media/abentley/ED1T/Pictures/2012/Trisha's 40th birthday". Attempting to launch the file by double-clicking launches Gnome Image Viewer, which errors with "The given locations contain no images." Launching the file in Firefox attempts to load the URL "file:///media/abentley/ED1T/Pictures/2012/Trisha%27s". Launching the file in Chromium attempts to load the URL "file:///media/abentley/ED1T/Pictures/2012/Trisha's" ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048454 Title: Cannot open files in directories containing apostrophes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1048454/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
