** Summary changed:

- Cannot open files in directories containing apostrophes
+ Cannot open files whose paths contain apostrophes

** Description changed:

  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"
+ 
+ The same problem happens if the filename, itself, contains an
+ apostrophe.  Launching "/home/abentley/Music/lossy-copies/Core/Graydon
+ James and the Young Novelists/In the Year You Were Born/01-I Was a Young
+ Man's Son.ogg" starts up Totem, which says "An error occurred: Location
+ not found."
