Bug Description
If i plot to SVG, i get an error message from Inkscape or Gimp, when the filename of the original schematic or board file contains an ampersand "&". In windows and linux, ampersands are legal at filenames, and kicad, Gimp and Inkscape aczept filenames with ampersand. But in this case, kicad creates a SVG file with a title block (<title> ~~~ </title>) which contains the original filename and so the ampersand. In this title block, a ampersand somehow is fatal (perhaps escape sequence or something like this). Deleting just this ampersand out of the titel block with an editor makes the file usable. I am still unshure, wether this is an kicad, Inkscape or Gimp error or even a problem of the SVG definition.
This bug is not security dangerous, but very nasty, if you do not know the simple workaround.
