Error messages when loading images

Hello.

Have been happily using Hugin for some months and all of a sudden, every time I try to import images to start a new panorama I get an error message saying I have invalid characters like $# <at> != in the file name and to rename it. There are no such such characters in the file names and even when I rename them, the same thing happens. I was trying to load photos taken in portrait orientation but it appears to be affecting all of them now regardless.

Maybe a change in character encoding happened in the filenames somewhere 
- in your camera, your card reader or other way you get images from your 
camera?

What Hugin version? What OS?

I'd suspect the path to those image files. See <wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ>
 -> 2 Known Limitations
    -> 2.5 Special Characters in Paths

or a little easier 
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ#Special_Characters_in_Paths>

On OS X you may also run into a problem if you drag and drop your images 
directly from iPhoto into Hugin:
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ#OS_X_and_iPhoto>

Does it work when you drag and drop your images from the Finder into 
Hugin's Images tab (or via "load images" from within Hugin)?

Re: Error messages when loading images

I haven't changed the way I download the images, plugging the able into the camera and importing them to iphoto. Then exporting them to the desktop to be able to import to hugin (can't seem to drag and drop for some reason.

I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Hugin 2011.4.0
Cheers
Mark

Re: Error messages when loading images

Changed version of iPhoto? Maybe a changed iPhoto setting?

I read images by popping my memory card into a USB card reader (much 
faster than most camera USB connections, and easier on camera 
batteries!) and the photos just show up as files on the card reader. Not 
using OS X, though, using Linux.

Re: Error messages when loading images

You were dead right. It wasn't eh file name but the folder they were sitting in. All working as previously. Thanks a bunch!
