Bug Description
When metadata is corrupt (for example a corrupt camera model entry), and it is
used as part of image renaming or subfolder name generation, the filename
could contain badly encoded or garbage values. These images should not be
downloaded at all.

One version of this bug is metadata with multiple spaces at the end of the value, e.g. serial no. "B2L530120 ". This causes problems in Samba drives.
A simple solution could be to to always "trim" the metadata for spaces in front and back before being used.
