Title:
  f-spot imports files with special characters in names but does not
  display the photos correctly on restart

Status in F-Spot:
  Won't Fix
Status in f-spot package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: f-spot

  Running: ubuntu 8.10, kernel linux 2.5.27-7 generic, GNOME 2.24.1
  f-spot:
    Installed: 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu4
    Candidate: 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu4
    Version table:
   *** 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu4 0

  I have JPG image files with names like 2007.03.15#022 at italy.rome.yummy.pasta.jpg.
  The # and @ characters in the file names cause problems for f-spot, regardless of whether or not I choose to copy the files to the Photos folder on import.

  Immediately after import, the images display correctly. After
  restarting f-spot, the images no longer display correctly.

  1. Import files that contain # and @ characters in their filenames.
  2. f-spot displays the images no problem.
  3. Quit f-spot.
  4. Start f-spot.
  5. f-spot no longer displays the images: it shows empty boxes in their place.

  Looking at the photos table in photos.db I see that the example image name given above shows in the uri column as:
  file:///home/paul/Pix/2007.03.15%23022%40italy.rome.yummy.pasta.jpg

  I guess the %23 and %40 stored by f-spot's import feature prevent
  f-spot from loading the images correctly after a restart.
