Bug Description

Drag-and-drop from a source to another in rhythmbox (for example from an intelligent playlist to the queued song list) does not work if the filename contains some character (for example an '?'). This is because the drag-n-drop data is the full uri to the file, fully escaped, whereas the path stored in the rhythmbox database does not escape some characters.

The sus-mentioned patch. It simply call rb_canonicalise_uri before performing a lookup in the database. Another option would have been to perform to use the fully escaped uri when inserting the song in the database.
