#23 Can not handle filenames with one of & ; ( )
Although the metacharacters & ; ( ) can be used in filenames, they can not be used in bash without an escape character. If a document has one of these characters in it's filename then it can not be imported. A check and a failure message is not being implemented.
To resolve this a sed command on each string may be possible. Something like: fixedstring="$(echo "$uglystring | sed -e 's/[()&]/\\&/g')" .
Also seems to be an issue with apostrophes. Ampersands are sometimes an issue and sometimes not. 0.4.2 does introduce some error checking for this to prevent corruption but import will still fail.
