Steps to reproduce with Openshot 1.4.3 on Ubuntu 14.04:

1. Open OpenShot.
2. In the “Title” menu, select “New Title …”
3. Under “Start here”, select “Gold 2” and click “Create new Title”.
4. As the name enter “Test? Yes.” and click “OK”.
5. Enter “Test? Yes.” into both fields and click “OK” again.
6. Click “Apply”.
→ Nothing happens. The new title doesn’t appear in the “Project Files” list.

Further steps to reproduce the mentioned message:

1. Create an arbitrary SVG file with Inkscape and call the file “test.svg”.
2. In a shell run: “cp test.svg 'test2.svg'”
2. Open OpenShot.
3. Hit Ctrl+F to get to the import dialog.
4. Import “test.svg”.
→ Works up to here, the file shows up in the “Project Files” list.
5. Hit Ctrl+F again.
6. Import “test?.svg”.
→ An information dialog pops up with the message “OpenShot doesn’t support this file format” (my translation). After clicking “OK” the “Project Files” lists hasn’t changed compared to before the import.

Title:
  Can’t import assets with a question mark in the file name

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Architecture (64 bits or 32 bits) : 64 bits
  Operating System & version : Ubuntu 14.04
  Installation Method : distro package
  Version of Openshot installed : 1.4.3
  BZR Revision used (if any) : N/A
  MLT/melt version : ?
  FFmpeg (i.e.libavcodec) version : from distro package (54?)
  FFmpeg installation : from distro package

  OpenShot fails to import assets with a question mark in the file name,
  saying something like “OpenShot doesn’t support this file format” (my
  translation).

  In my particular case, I was creating a new title which had a question
  mark in its name. When finishing the title creation dialog, the title
  didn’t show up anywhere. This was confusing. I found the created SVG
  file in my file manager and tried to import it manually which led to
  the error message above. That was confusing again. When I removed the
  question mark from the file name, the SVG file could be imported
  without any problems as expected.
