#5 Site and UI crash when using file names containing quote

[Anonymous]

I had a bunch of images that had a single quote in the folder name and the file name. When attempting to upload, the upload seems to take a long time, then I get an error message with a reference to a log file. It took a few minutes for my site to recover, during which time it was totally unavailable. In the end, the post was there but the image was not.

I had a great deal of success uploading a large batch of files recently, so I took a look at what may be different, and noticed the quotes. I took all of the single quotes out and it worked fine. I assume the single quote in the filename is probably a server-side problem - however it can really cause someone to believe its the gallery manager taking a nap.

I'd suggest checking filenames and warning that single quotes won't fly when attempting to upload, and to change the file names before queueing any files.

Great work, BTW. Looking forward to trying out the 2007 beta now that it's out.
