Hi Yuv,

hugin checks the character of filename for some time and warns the user
if it contains invalid characters.

But I'm not sure if all invalid characters are in the list. (see
src\hugin1\base_wx\platform.cpp, function const wxString
getInvalidCharacters(), but these are platform depended, e.g. on windows
the apostroph/single quote works)

Title:
  Single quote in path of loaded image causes control point detection to fail

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Just ran into a weird issue with Hugin 2010.2. If you load images that have a single quote anywhere in their path, control point detection will always fail, no matter which detector or what settings. Something is not being escaped properly.

E.g., if you're loading images stored in:
/Users/you/Desktop/Friend's Birthday/…

When you click (Align), you'll get errors in the little console window that pops up while control point detection is happening. Unhelpfully, this window appears and disappears so quickly, you can't even read the details. It would be nice if those errors could be written to a log file or something. Very frustrating having the console window immediately vanish when you're trying to see WHAT the damn problem is.

For now the workaround is to just make sure you don't have any single quotes in the path of any images you're loading.
