[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#638699: Bug#638699: exo-open fails to open a filename with a hash (#)

[Jason Perrin]

This has been fixed in release 0.10.7-1 (available in stretch). The
core issue here was that exo-open did not properly escape filenames
before sending them to gobject/glib, so files with a number sign (#)
in their name would get cut off, due to glib removing what it saw as a
URI fragment. This was reported in
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9912 and fixed with
http://git.xfce.org/xfce/exo/commit/?id=6faf134307a8f651c09931ae4f7017ce141f6320,
so this issue should be resolved.
