burn refused due to filenames with a %

[Nic Knox]

Not sure if this is a bug, but can't find a link & no one has answered my HELP request in which I said:
I set up a burn, the dialogue whirs round a bit, the CD-RW ejects, the last bit of the burnlog says:

BraseroGenisoimage Launching command
BraseroGenisoimage called brasero_job_get_fd_out
BraseroGenisoimage called brasero_job_get_fd_in

 message = "An image could not be created"
BraseroGenisoimage stopping
BraseroGenisoimage got killed
Session error : An image could not be created (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2839)

What am I supposed to do? [if its relevant I think there will be lots of duplicated filenames]

cheers

I notice this is still unanswered. I still think its a bug - a lot of fiddling about seems to indicate that Brasero refuses to burn filenames which include "%20". This may be a superficial conclusion & I can't be bothered to see if its the inclusion of any "%" character that causes the crash, but it would seem logical.
A temporary fix might be for the program to do a preliminary search for any filenames it doesn't like and report them in a format where the file can be removed or the name changed.

Had same problem burning a DVD with Brasero from files downloaded from a Picasa Web Ablum (which seems to like filenames containg '%').

The only solution was to rename the files before burning.

Seems like Brasero does not like file names containing '%'.

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

Thank you for your bug report, what version of Ubuntu do you use?

Pedro could you check if that's still an issue in Oneiric and upstream the bug if that's one?

Upstream https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616862 seems similar
