I was unable to edit a photo using "Open with External Editor". Instead of loading "/home/abentley/Pictures/Old family photos/Lynne's pix/image0029.jpg", it launched The Gimp, which said: Opening '/home/abentley/Pictures/Old family photos/Lynne's' failed: No such file or directory Calling error for procedure 'file-jpeg-load': Could not open '/home/abentley/pix/image0029_modified.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory Opening '/home/abentley/pix/image0029_modified.jpg' failed: Could not open '/home/abentley/pix/image0029_modified.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory When I changed the external editor to "Image Viewer", it said: "The given locations contain no images". $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu quantal (development branch) Release: 12.10 $ apt-cache policy shotwell shotwell: Installed: 0.12.90-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.12.90-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.12.90-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: shotwell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048639 Title: Cannot launch external editor for photos in directories with apostrophe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1048639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
