#1392 Media Viewer doesn't cope with ampersands in filenames

[Hansjörg Schwarz]

Hello!
The media viewer doesn't find image files containing an ampersand in its filenames, like "aunt_&_uncle.jpg".

To repeat this bug:

Set the configuration option "Multimedia->Use Media Viewer" to "no".
Go to the Welcome Page. Reload the page or use the slideshow until a thumbnail containing an ampersand in the filename appears.
Click on the thumbnail.
The Image Viewer window opens and displays an error message "File not found. media/aunt_"

With kind regards

This seems to be fixed in v4.2 (currently still under development). Are you still experiencing this with your current version?

This bug ist still there, even in 4.2svn. In the meantime there was as second bug introduced: the option "Multimedia->Use Media Viewer: NO" doesn't turn off the lightbox module anymore. You can see the first bug only, if you remove the lightbox module from the modules directory by hand. (An you should really do that, since lightbox is a bandwidth eating monster... :-)
Sorry for the late answer.
