Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

When sorting a deleting old music I found two that I tried to delete from the search program it self but it told me the file doesn't exist. With my minor programming skills it just sounds like the string is not handling correctly and can't delete the file. If it can't delete it, then to the program it thinks it doesn't exist.
I will attach the songs below...

The files are named:

Nelly Furtado - Hey, Man%21.mp3
Nelly Furtado - Whoa Nelly%21 - 02 - On the Radio.mp3

I wonder if it's the %21 that's confusing the search program. %21 is the character code for '!', which is an invalid character for UNIX filenames. I wonder if gnome search is interpreting %21 as ! and thus not finding the file?

Thank you for your bug. That's likely to be a filename escaping problem as pointed by Bryce, I've forwarded that upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395381
