Bug Description

Hi.

After the rename of some page zim tried to adjust any links referring to the page.
This operation failed with an error PopUp Message:
  Invalid page name "Machines:EtcHosts "
  The given page name is not valid.
   X Close

I found the offending page (see below) with this command:
   find InfMap -name "*.txt" -exec grep EtcHosts {} +
...
InfMap/92.Protocols/Machines/foxi/12.Debian7/21.Wlan.txt: [[Machines:EtcHosts ]]# see there, prove it
...

# Note: I greatly appreciate this built-in possibility by intentional design(!)

Therefore, the offending file is:
InfMap/92.Protocols/Machines/foxi/12.Debian7/21.Wlan.txt

Proposal:
== == ==
Please add the file name plus the failed pattern in Popup Messages
to ease its detection.

Thanks a lot for zim (!).

  Andreas
