[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#441767: kipi-plugins: Export to flickr fails when EXIF comment has parens

[Michael Gurski]

Package: kipi-plugins
Version: 0.1.4-1+b1
Severity: normal


In my digicam, I have a user comment specified of "Copyright (C) 2007
Michael A Gurski".  When using the FlickrExport plugin in digikam,
uploads fail with:

Error Occured: Invalid signature
We can not proceed further.

I can successfully use kflickr to export the same images (though this
isn't ideal, as it doesn't read digikam tags).  Based on
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482916>, it appears that the
FlickrExport plugin has a definite problem with parens (ie "(" and
")") in the comment field, rendering the particular plugin unusable
when they're used.
