Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here. As bug #936141 (of which this bug and #940877 are duplicates) is unaccessable I'll post my findings here.

The problem is that Dutch translations of standard folders (like `Videos') contain single quotes (in Dutch `Video's') and that the `FOLDER' variable in `./src/unity-lens-video b/src/unity-lens-video' does no escaping of special characters in pathnames.

The attached patch resolves *this* issue, although I wonder if this robust enough for other special cases.

My comment:4 is about version `0.3-0ubuntu1`.
