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"
