Bug Description

notify-send "Text goes here" -i "/pics/path/goes/here"
By using this way, notify-send doesn't show the image if it has a comma in its name!
See here:
Same thing happens when the directory of the image has comma(s) into its name!
See here:
The strange is that commas are not recognnized as special characters by the terminal. For instance, you can say 'mkdir alex,leon'
and a directory with the name "alex,leon" will be created! Same with 'cd alex,leon' and 'rm -rf alex,leon' ! I found it quite strange....!
