Bug Description

The --smarten-punctuation option in Calibre ebook converter converts plain quotes, dashes and ellipsis to their typographically correct equivalents.

Apparently, it doesn't skip all tags (e.g Image filenames), so three dots in an image file name ... becomes ellipsis glyph u2026. Actual image files aren't renamed, so it can't find the referenced file.

I ran ebook-convert (Calibre ebook converter CLI) a few times and here is the console output: http://pastebin.com/9qPeRdsP

In the first run, --smarten-punctuation was on. It couldn't find the images.

Sorry, I cant' provide Calibre version or OS, I wasn't person who encountered this, I'm just reporting on their behalf.
